A Metamaterial-based technology to create Electricity from Light

Objective

AMELI aims at developing a family of hot carrier devices that operate on a technology discovered by the PI during the course of his ERC-CoG project. This hot carrier technology does not rely on a P-N junction (or one of its many derivatives) to create electricity, giving access to a parameter space that is different from that of traditional solar cells. The goal of AMELI is to assess the potential for disruption of this approach and to propose a first proof of concept photovoltaic (if we can reach a 10% energy conversion efficiency threshold) or photodetector prototype at the end of the project.
