Geometric and doping effects on radiative recombination in thin-film near-field energy converters

Modeling radiative recombination is crucial to the analysis of radiative energy converters. In this work, a local radiative recombination coefficient is defined and derived based on fluctuational electrodynamics that is applicable to thin-film cells in both the near field and far field. The predicte...
