Arizona State University μετα Thermal Radiation (ASU meta-TRad) Group

Dr. Wang visited Bruker’s AFM/SPM facility based on Santa Barbara. It is truly a great learning experience!

Microscope experts Dr. John Hellgeth and Bill Mohar from Thermo Fisher visited our lab, and gave the training to Hao and Kieran on the operation of our Continuum IR microscope!

Dr. Wang, Hao, Kieran, Yue, and Jui-Yung attended the Spectroscopy workshop offered by Thermo Fisher on the basics of spectroscopy and some advanced application with the iS50 FTIR spectrometer and Continuum IR microscope, which are also equipped in our lab.

As one of three ASU major Solar energy projects in collaboration with Australia researchers, the Micro Urban Solar Integrated Concentrators (MUSIC) project, which our research group is involved in, was featured at ASU home page today.

The work on the near-field thermal radiation between doped silicon nanowire arrays, by Prof. Wang  in collaboration with Dr. Basu from Intel, is published in Applied Physics Letters. Congratulations! Basu,* S., and Wang,* L.P., “Near-Field Radiative Heat Transfer Between Doped Silicon Nanowire Arrays,” Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 102, p. 053101.

Welcome MS students Hassan and Mirza to work in our lab on an applied project for this Spring!

Welcome Jui-Yung Chang and Kieran O’Dea, who are first year PhD students in SEMTE at ASU, to join in our group to study nanoscale thermal radiation for solar energy harvesting!

Professor Wang attended IMECE’2012 in Houston, TX, Nov. 9-14, 2012. During the conference, he gave a presentation on “Excitation of Magnetic Polaritons in 2D Grating/Thin Film Structures for Thermophotovoltaic Emitters.”

The Nano-Engineered Thermal Radiation Group website was established before the start of the fall semester.

Prof. Wang attended E2 Camp in Prescott Pines, Ariz., and enjoyed the activities with ASU engineering freshmen from the class of 2016.
