Light Harvesting at Oblique Incidence Decoupled from Transmission in Organic Solar Cells Exhibiting 9.8% Efficiency and 50% Visible Light Transparency
摘要： For many years, it has been recognized that potential organic photovoltaic cells must be integrated into elements requiring high transparency. In most of such elements, sunlight is likely to be incident at large angles. Here it is demonstrated that light transmission can be largely decoupled from harvesting by optically tailoring an infrared shifted nonfullerene acceptor based organic cell architecture. A 9.67% power conversion efficiency at 50° incidence is achieved together with an average visual transmission above 50% at normal incidence. The deconstruction of a 1D nanophotonic structure is implemented to conclude that just two λ/4 thick layers are essential to reach, for a wide incidence angle range, a higher than 50% efficiency increase relative to the standard configuration reference. In an outdoor measurement of vertically positioned 50% visible transparent cells, it is demonstrated that 9.80% of sunlight energy can be converted into electricity during the course of 1 day.

Energy losses and transition radiation in graphene traversed by a fast charged particle under oblique incidence
摘要： We perform fully relativistic calculations of the energy loss channels for a charged particle traversing a single layer of graphene under oblique incidence in a setting pertinent to a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), where we distinguish between the energy deposited in graphene in the form of electronic excitations (Ohmic loss) and the energy emitted in the far field in the form of transition radiation (TR). Our formulation of the problem uses a definition of two in-plane, dielectric functions of graphene, which describe the longitudinal and transverse excitation processes that contribute separately to those two energy loss channels. Using several models for the electric conductivity of graphene as the input in those dielectric functions enables us to discuss the effects of oblique incidence on several processes in a broad range of frequencies, from the terahertz (THz) to the ultraviolet (UV). In particular, at the THz frequencies, we demonstrate that the nonlocal effect in the graphene’s conductivity is not important in the retarded regime, and we show that the longitudinal and transverse contributions to the emitted TR spectra exhibit strongly anisotropic angular patterns that are readily distinguishable in a cathodoluminescence measurement in a STEM. Moreover, we explore the possibility of exciting the so-called transverse mode in the optical response of graphene at the mid-infrared (MIR) range of frequencies by means of a fast charged particle under oblique incidence. Finally, we demonstrate that, aside from the usual high-energy peaks in the longitudinal contribution to the Ohmic energy loss in the MIR to the UV frequency range, there may arise strongly directional features in the in-plane distribution of the transverse contribution to the Ohmic energy loss for an oblique trajectory, which could be possibly observed via momentum- and angle-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy of graphene in STEM.

[IEEE 2018 International Conference on Advances in Computing, Communications and Informatics (ICACCI) - Bangalore, India (2018.9.19-2018.9.22)] 2018 International Conference on Advances in Computing, Communications and Informatics (ICACCI) - A Modified Frequency Selective Surface Band-stop Filter for Ultra-wideband Applications
摘要： A modi?ed design of a single-layer ultra-wideband (UWB) Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) re?ector is presented for microwave applications. The proposed FSS unit cell consists of a square-loop and a ring printed on opposite sides of a low-cost FR-4 substrate. With the optimized dimensions of the elements, the proposed FSS design provides a stop-bandwidth of 11.94 GHz (5.24-17.18 GHz). It is observed from simulation results that the proposed FSS design has a linear decreasing phase response in the desired band. Furthermore, the presented design provides a stable frequency response up to 450 oblique angle of incidence for both perpendicular (TE) and parallel (TM) polarizations.
