On occupant behavior and innovation studies towards high performance buildings: a transdisciplinary approach
(MDPI, 2018-10-06)
With ever-increasing population and urbanization, it is crucial to decrease energy density in the built environment without sacrificing occupants’ comfort and well-being. This requires consideration of technological ...
Analysis of sustainable materials for radiative cooling potential of building surfaces
(MDPI AG, 2018)
The main goal of this paper is to explore the radiative cooling and solar heating potential of several materials for the built environment, based on their spectrally-selective properties. A material for solar heating, ...
Biomimicry designs for passive optical solutions for nanoscale radiative cooling applications
(SPIE, 2018)
Inspired by the mechanism of the wings of Morpho butterfly, here we propose biomimicry designs which have the potential to be used for radiative cooling purposes. We numerically analyzed the spontaneous emission at near-field ...
Localized radiative energy transfer from a plasmonic bow-tie nano-antenna to a magnetic thin film stack
(Springer Business+Media, 2011-06)
Localized radiative energy transfer from a near-field emitter to a magnetic thin film structure is investigated. A magnetic thin film stack is placed in the near-field of the plasmonic nano-antenna to utilize the evanescent ...
Near-field thermal radiation transfer by mesoporous metamaterials
(The Optical Society, 2015-09-21)
In this work, we investigate the impact of nano-scale pores within structured metamaterials on spectral near-field radiative transfer. We use Finite Difference Time Domain Method (FDTD) and consider uniform and corrugated ...
A biomimicry design for nanoscale radiative cooling applications inspired by Morpho didius butterfly
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-11-15)
In nature, novel colors and patterns have evolved in various species for survival, recognizability or mating purposes. Investigations of the morphology of various butterfly wings have shown that in addition to the pigmentation, ...
Cascaded thermodynamic and environmental analyses of energy generation modalities of a high-performance building based on real-time measurements
(MDPI AG, 2020-04)
This study presents cascaded thermodynamic and environmental analyses of a high-performance academic building. Five different energy efficiency measures and operation scenarios are evaluated based on the actual measurements ...
Credible intervals for nanoparticle characteristics
(Elsevier, 2012-01)
Solving the inverse problem of nanoparticle characterization has the potential to advance science and benefit society. While considerable progress has been made within a framework based on the scattering of surface ...
Local density of electromagnetic states within a nanometric gap formed between two thin films supporting surface phonon polaritons
(AIP Publishing, 2010)
We present a detailed physical analysis of the near-field thermal radiation spectrum emitted by a silicon carbide (SiC) film when another nonemitting SiC layer is brought in close proximity. This is accomplished via the ...
