Transparent Solar Windows From Labs To Industry, Towards Smart Cities - Encyclopedia- Oct 2019.Pdf, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh

Mikhail Vasiliev

Many modern glass and window products are based on metal-dielectric coatings, which can control properties such as thermal emissivity, heat gain, colour, and transparency. These can also enable solar energy harvesting through PV integration, if the glazing structure is purpose-designed, to include luminescent materials and special microstructures. Recently, significant progress has been demonstrated in building integrated transparent solar windows, which are expected to add momentum towards the development of smart cities. These window systems are, at present in 2019, the only type of transparent and clear construction materials capable of providing significant energy savings in buildings, simultaneously with renewable energy …

Initial Field Testing Results From Building-Integrated Solar Energy Harvesting Windows Installation In Perth, Australia, Mikhail Vasiliev, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam, Kamal Alameh Sep 2019

Initial Field Testing Results From Building-Integrated Solar Energy Harvesting Windows Installation In Perth, Australia, Mikhail Vasiliev, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam, Kamal Alameh

Mikhail Vasiliev

We report on the field testing datasets and performance evaluation results obtained
from a commercial property-based visually-clear solar window installation site in Perth-Australia.
This installation was fitted into a refurbished shopping center entrance porch and showcases the
potential of glass curtain wall-based solar energy harvesting in built environments. In particular,
we focus on photovoltaic (PV) performance characteristics such as the electric power output, specific
yield, day-to-day consistency of peak output power, and the amounts of energy generated and stored
daily. The dependencies of the generated electric power and stored energy on multiple environmental
and geometric parameters are also studied. An …

Analysis, Optimization, And Characterization Of Magnetic Photonic Crystal Structures And Thin-Film Material Layers, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam Jul 2019

Analysis, Optimization, And Characterization Of Magnetic Photonic Crystal Structures And Thin-Film Material Layers, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam

Mikhail Vasiliev

The development of magnetic photonic crystals (MPC) has been a rapidly evolving research area since the late 1990s. Magneto-optic (MO) materials and the techniques for their characterization have also continually undergone functional and property-related improvements. MPC optimization is a feature-rich Windows software application designed to enable researchers to analyze the optical and magneto-optical spectral properties of multilayers containing gyrotropic constituents. We report on a set of computational algorithms which aim to optimize the design and the optical or magneto-optical spectral analysis of 1D MPC, together with a Windows software implementation. Relevant material property datasets (e.g., the spectral dispersion data for …

Recent Developments In Solar Energy-Harvesting Technologies For Building Integration And Distributed Energy Generation, Mikhail Vasiliev, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam, Kamal Alameh Mar 2019

Recent Developments In Solar Energy-Harvesting Technologies For Building Integration And Distributed Energy Generation, Mikhail Vasiliev, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam, Kamal Alameh

Mikhail Vasiliev

We present a review of the current state of the field for a rapidly evolving group of
technologies related to solar energy harvesting in built environments. In particular, we focus
on recent achievements in enabling the widespread distributed generation of electric energy
assisted by energy capture in semi-transparent or even optically clear glazing systems and building
wall areas. Whilst concentrating on recent cutting-edge results achieved in the integration of
traditional photovoltaic device types into novel concentrator-type windows and glazings, we compare
the main performance characteristics reported with these using more conventional (opaque or
semi-transparent) solar cell technologies. A critical overview …

Semi-Transparent Energy-Harvesting Solar Concentrator Windows Employing Infrared Transmission-Enhanced Glass And Large-Area Microstructured Diffractive Elements, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh, Mohsin Ali Badshah, Seok-Min Kim, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam Aug 2018

Semi-Transparent Energy-Harvesting Solar Concentrator Windows Employing Infrared Transmission-Enhanced Glass And Large-Area Microstructured Diffractive Elements, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh, Mohsin Ali Badshah, Seok-Min Kim, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam

Mikhail Vasiliev

We report on the study of energy-harvesting performance in medium-size (400 cm2)
glass-based semitransparent solar concentrators employing edge-mounted photovoltaic modules.
Systems using several different types of glazing system architecture and containing embedded
diffractive structures are prepared and characterized. The technological approaches to the rapid
manufacture of large-area diffractive elements suitable for use in solar window-type concentrators
are described. These elements enable the internal deflection and partial trapping of light inside
glass-based concentrator windows. We focus on uncovering the potential of pattern-transfer
polymer-based soft lithography for enabling both the improved photon collection probability at solar
cell surfaces, and the up-scaling of …

Metal-Semiconductor-Metal (Msm) Photodetectors With Plasmonic Nanogratings, Narottam K. Das, Ayman Karar, C L Tan, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh, Yong Tak Lee Apr 2015

Metal-Semiconductor-Metal (Msm) Photodetectors With Plasmonic Nanogratings, Narottam K. Das, Ayman Karar, C L Tan, Mikhail Vasiliev, Kamal Alameh, Yong Tak Lee

Mikhail Vasiliev

We discuss the light absorption enhancement factor dependence on the design of nanogratings inscribed into metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector (MSM-PD) structures. These devices are optimized geometrically, leading to light absorption improvement through plasmon-assisted effects. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation results show ~50 times light absorption enhancement for 850 nm light due to improved optical signal propagation through the nanogratings. Also, we show that the light absorption enhancement is strongly dependent on the nanograting shapes in MSM-PDs.

Properties Of Exchange Coupled All-Garnet Magneto-Optic Thin Film Multilayer Structures, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam, Mikhail Vasiliev, Viacheslav A. Kotov, Dmitry Balabanov, Ilya Akimov, Kamal Alameh Apr 2015

Properties Of Exchange Coupled All-Garnet Magneto-Optic Thin Film Multilayer Structures, Mohammad Nur-E-Alam, Mikhail Vasiliev, Viacheslav A. Kotov, Dmitry Balabanov, Ilya Akimov, Kamal Alameh

Mikhail Vasiliev

The effects of exchange coupling on magnetic switching properties of all-garnet multilayer thin film structures are investigated. All-garnet structures are fabricated by sandwiching a magneto-soft material of composition type Bi1.8Lu1.2Fe3.6Al1.4O12 or Bi3Fe5O12:Dy2O3 in between two magneto-hard garnet material layers of composition type Bi2Dy1Fe4Ga1O12 or Bi2Dy1Fe4Ga1O12:Bi2O3. The fabricated RF magnetron sputtered exchange-coupled all-garnet multilayers demonstrate a very attractive combination of magnetic properties, and are of interest for emerging applications in optical sensors and isolators, ultrafast nanophotonics and magneto-plasmonics. An unconventional type of magnetic hysteresis behavior not observed previously in magnetic garnet thin films is reported and discussed.
