Analysis of Luminescent Solar Concentrator Performance Using a Ray Tracing Algorithm: Modelling, Optimization and Validation
(2017)In this paper, the behaviour of a LSC doped with Near-Infrared Quantum Dots (NIR-QD) in an epoxy host material is modelled by a ray tracing algorithm under different iteration numbers. It is shown that by increasing the ... -
Bulk, surface properties and water uptake mechanisms of salt/acid amorphous composite systems
(2013)Developing amorphous pharmaceuticals can be desirable due to advantageous biopharmaceutical properties. Low glass transition temperature (Tg) amorphous drugs can be protected from crystallisation by mixing with high Tg ... -
Controllable Charge-Transfer Mechanism at Push-Pull Porphyrin/Nanocarbon Interfaces
(2019)Ultrafast charge transfer at the interfaces between 5,15-donor-acceptor push-pull porphyrins (Por-tBu and Por-OC8) and nanocarbon materials in the form of fullerene (C60) and graphene carboxylate (GC) are investigated ... -
Improving the Mathematical Model for Luminescent Down-Shifting Layers by Investigating their Loss Mechanisms
(2017)A Luminescent Down-Shifting (LDS) layer is an optical approach to improve the solar cell’s optical response by using luminescent species doped in a polymer matrix material to form a thin layer to be deposited on top of the ... -
Quantum Dot Luminescent Solar Concentrator: Optimization of Concentration and Thickness
(2017)The absorption coefficient of a Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) can non-linearly affect the total optical efficiency (η_opt) and solar concentration ratio (C_P) of the device. Absorption is determined by two critical ... -
Terahertz spectroscopy of amorphous WSe2 and MoSe2 thin films
(2018)Time domain spectroscopy is used to determine the THz electromagnetic response of amorphous transition metal dichalcogenides WSe2and MoSe2 in thin-film form. The dielectric function is obtained using a rigorous ...
