Hot carrier cooling mechanisms in nano structures

该项目旨在系统地研究纳米结构中热载流子冷却的可能机制，并确定最主要的机制。这些对于高效的热载流子太阳能电池和热电器件是重要的。该项目将开发新的物理学，以了解纳米结构中的热载流子动力学。与传统技术相比，该项目预计将导致光伏系统的系统平衡较低，电力成本水平化。这将促进太阳能产业，创造绿色就业机会，减少温室气体排放。

This project aims to systematically investigate possible mechanisms of hot carrier cooling in nano structures and to identify the most dominant mechanisms. These are important for efficient hot carrier solar cells and thermoelectrics. This project will develop new physics to understand hot carrier dynamics in nano structures. This project is expected to result in photovoltaic systems with a lower balance of system and levelised cost of electricity compared to conventional technologies. This should boost solar industry, create green jobs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
