Global ETD Search

About
The Global ETD Search service is a free service for researchers to find electronic theses and dissertations. This service is provided by the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations.
Our metadata is collected from universities around the world. If you manage a university/consortium/country archive and want to be added, details can be found on the NDLTD website.

2	Advanced thermophotovoltaic cells modeling, optimized for use in radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGS) for Mars and deep space missions Davenport, Bradley P. 06 1900 (has links) Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. / Thermophotovoltaic cells are a good candidate for use in high efficiency radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) power devices for deep space missions. This thesis examines the use of Silvaco Virtual Wafer Fabrication Software as a tool for designing and optimizing TPV cells for different possible spectra. It gives results for GaSb and InGaAs cells optimized to the AM0 spectrum which closely match published data as well as hypothetical cells optimized to the spectrum of a 1300K blackbody. / Ensign, United States Navy Radioisotopes in aeronautics Thermoelectric generators Photovoltaic effect Solar cells
