research progress in neutron Absorbers Materials for reactor spent fuel storage and transportation applications
Materials review, 2011Co-Authors: Liu XiaozhenAbstract:Neutron absorber Materials properties and their current research and application at home and abroad are presented from the demand for spent nuclear fuel transportation and storage application in China.There is a focus on four kinds of Materials including borated steel,aluminum boron carbide metal matrix composites,boron aluminum alloys,boron-containing organic polymer.It is discussed these four Materials preparation,performance cha-racteristics as well as the existing problems during the process of Materials preparation and application.At the same time it is described that cadmium coated borated stainless steel neutron absorbing Materials using in China nuclear power plants and gadolinium-containing neutron absorbing Materials currently studying abroad.At last the direction pointed out of further study of borated steel and aluminum boron carbide metal matrix composites.

hot carrier solar cell Absorbers Materials mechanisms and nanostructures
Next Generation Technologies for Solar Energy Conversion V, 2014Co-Authors: Gavin Conibeer, Santosh Shrestha, Shujuan Huang, Robert Patterson, Hongze Xia, Yu Feng, Pengfei Zhang, Neeti Gupta, Murad J Y Tayebjee, Suntrana SmythAbstract:The hot carrier cell aims to extract the electrical energy from photo-generated carriers before they thermalize to the band edges. Hence it can potentially achieve a high current and a high voltage and hence very high efficiencies up to 65% under 1 sun and 86% under maximum concentration. To slow the rate of carrier thermalisation is very challenging, but modification of the phonon energies and the use of nanostructures are both promising ways to achieve some of the required slowing of carrier cooling. A number of Materials and structures are being investigated with these properties and test structures are being fabricated. Initial measurements indicate slowed carrier cooling in III-Vs with large phonon band gaps and in multiple quantum wells. It is expected that soon proof of concept of hot carrier devices will pave the way for their development to fully functioning high efficiency solar cells.
