PhD Thesis Julia van der Burgt

We proudly present the newest PhD thesis:

Directive Dielectric Designs

for high efficiency photovoltaics

Julia S. van der Burgt

We simulate, fabricate and characterize dielectric structures designed for highly directional light emission to enhance photovoltaic efficiency

1. Introduction

2.Nanophotonic Emission Control for Improved Photovoltaic Efficiency

3. Integrating Sphere Fourier Microscopy of Highly Directional Emission

4. Perovskite Plasticity: Exploiting Instability for Self-Optimized Performance

5. A Solar Concentrator Exhibiting Self-Tracking and Diffuse Light Utilization

6. Unlocking Higher Power Efficiencies in Luminescent Solar Concentrators through Anisotropic Luminophore Emission

7. Unidirectional Luminescent Solar Concentrators
