High-Performance Infrared Nano-Rectennas Using New Photonic Nanostructures and 2D Materials

L. Zhu, P. Y. Chen, University of Illinois at Chicago

We discuss possibility of rectifying infrared radiation using tunneling nanodiodes based on thermally-oxidized 2D materials, which are engineered into hyperbolic-metamaterials (HMMs) for fully intercept the incident light and covert it into the useful dc electricity.
