Specifically, we study the effects of varying the incident angle (0–90 degrees) of radiation on the density of states, transmission function, Seebeck coefficient, and electronic figure of merit (<i>ZT</i><sub><i>e</i></sub>) of the nanoribbons. Our results demonstrate that the electronic properties are highly dependent on radiation conditions due to their influence on electron transport. We find that the density of states and transmission function exhibit distinct radiation angle-dependent behaviors that highlight the role of the radiation's electric field orientation. Importantly, the <i>ZT</i><sub><i>e</i></sub> shows significant modulation with the incident angle, achieving optimized values up to 0.275. These findings provide insights into controlling the electronic and thermoelectric properties of POPGraphene nanoribbons using electromagnetic radiation. Our work underscores opportunities for developing Graphene-based nanophotonic devices with enhanced performance through all-optical means. The demonstrated tunability via irradiation paves the way for potential applications such as optical switches, sensors, and next-generation optoelectronics using POPGraphene nanoribbons.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":620,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Electronics","volume":"23 3","pages":"647 - 660"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140578371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, utilizing photonic crystals in PIC construction faces challenges in compressing and efficiently transmitting light in dimensions much smaller than the light wavelength, alongside the lack of direct interaction with conventional electronic integrated circuits. To address these challenges, plasmonic technology has been employed, leveraging the intrinsic interaction between photons and electrons and the phenomenon of extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) through nanohole arrays. This study investigates the significance of plasmonic structures in PIC realization by examining various structural parameters such as hole radius, layer thickness, substrate refractive index, and electric field distribution in EOT properties. Through an analysis of each parameter’s effect on the proposed structure, an optimal structure is introduced, maximizing both absolute optical transmission efficiency and high-quality factor <i>Q</i>. Main calculations based on Rayleigh-Wood anomalies analysis, along with simulations using the finite-difference time-domain method, demonstrate the ability to predict and interpret the presence or absence of surface plasmon resonance peaks in the transmission spectrum independently of complex and time-consuming numerical simulations.

However, the current PV parameter estimation (PVPE) methods still face great challenges due to the complicated characteristics of the PV models. In this paper, a novel meta-heuristic algorithm called improved simultaneous heat transfer search (ISHTS) is proposed to solve various PVPE problems. In ISHTS, two efficient strategies are embedded into the heat transfer search algorithm to improve the search performance. First, a simultaneous heat transfer strategy is adopted to diverse search equations for each generation to ameliorate the global detection. Second, a novel elitist perturbation strategy with adaptive perturbation amplitude is employed to enhance the local exploitation. The proposed ISHTS is applied to solve different PVPE problems including single diode, double diode, three diode and PV module. The performance of ISHTS is extensively compared with several state-of-the-art PVPE methods. Simulation results demonstrate that ISHTS achieves root-mean-square error (RSME) as low as <span>(9.8602 times 10^{-4})</span>, <span>(9.8248 times 10^{-4})</span>, <span>(9.8248 times 10^{-4})</span> and <span>(2.4251 times 10^{-3})</span>, and obtains standard deviation (SD) as small as <span>(8.88 times 10^{-17})</span>, <span>(2.05 times 10^{-6})</span>, <span>(1.88 times 10^{-5})</span> and <span>(3.40 times 10^{-17})</span> for four different PV models, respectively.

The symmetry in the top-layer design of the unit cell shows persistence to incident waves with different polarization and makes this device independent of variation in the polarization of the waves. Besides that, surface current density analysis of the absorber illustrates that high absorption bands are achieved due to the existence of strong electric resonance in the unit cell structure.
