Vacuum Nanosystemsfor Energy Conversion
01 Feb 2013 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Roger T. Howe
Micro and nano-fabricated sensors (e.g., accelerometers and gyroscopes) and actuators (e.g., light valve chips for projection and cell-phone displays) have become commonplace in recent years. Some of these devices must operate in a hermetically sealed, lowpressure ambient, a need that motivated...
Progress Toward Wafer-Scale Thermionic Energy Conversion
11 Feb 2016 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Roger T. Howe
I will provide an update on recent progress at Stanford on achieving higher efficiency, wafer-scale thermionic converters – particularly, in achieving very high thermal isolation between the cathode and the anode and in new anodes with work functions less than 1 eV.
