Open AccessHigh-injection effects in near-field thermophotovoltaic devices
In near-field thermophotovoltaics, a substantial enhancement of the electrical power output is expected as a result of the larger photogeneration of electron-hole pairs due to the tunneling of evanescent modes...

Open AccessImpacts of propagating, frustrated and surface modes on radiative, electrical and thermal losses in nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic power generators
The impacts of radiative, electrical and thermal losses on the performances of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic (nano-TPV) power generators consisting of a gallium antimonide cell paired with a broadband tungs...

Heat transfer between a hot AFM tip and a cold sample: impact of the air pressure
We observe the heat flux exchanged by the hot tip of a scanning thermal microscope, which is an instrument based on the atomic force microscope. We first vary the pressure in order to analyze the impact on the...

Heat Transfer between a Self-Heated Scanning Thermal Microscopy Probe and a Cold Sample: Impact of the Probe Temperature
Scanning Thermal Microscopy measurements with a resistive microprobe electrically heated were performed for different probe temperatures, for probe free in air and in contact with various specimens. The measur...
