[02/17] Hao’s work published on Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells
Congrats to Hao on the acceptance of the very first experimental work from our NETR Group for publication on Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, as a result of a successful collaboration with RMIT University. This work reports the optical characterization of selective metamaterial solar absorbers at elevated temperatures, which is supported by the…
[02/16] Review paper accepted by NMTE
Liu, X.L., Wang,* L.P., and Zhang,* Z.M., 2015, “Near-Field Thermal Radiation: Recent Progress and Outlook,” Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering, accepted. Abstract: Any materials at temperatures higher than absolute zero emit electromagnetic waves due to the thermal fluctuations of free charges or ions. When two or more bodies at different temperatures are brought sufficiently close to each other with vacuum…
