Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Rectennas Get an Efficiency Boost

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The research team that announced the first optical rectenna in 2015 reports that it has improved multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) rectennas by creating and optimizing new diode structures that allow optical rectification with air-stable devices. The incorporation of double-insulator layer tunnel diodes, fabricated on MWCNT arrays, enables the use of air-stable top metals with excellent asymmetry for rectification applications. To provide ease of electron flow and thus a low work function, researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) initially used calcium as the...Read full article

    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
    terahertz
    Terahertz (THz) refers to a unit of frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, denoting waves with frequencies between 0.1 and 10 terahertz. One terahertz is equivalent to one trillion hertz, or cycles per second. The terahertz frequency range falls between the microwave and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Key points about terahertz include: Frequency range: The terahertz range spans from approximately 0.1 terahertz (100 gigahertz) to 10 terahertz. This corresponds to...
