We have developed a nonlocal generalization of the Onsager current relation to study the enhancement of the open-circuit voltage observed in InSb thermal diode experiments. Numerical solutions are ...

The open-circuit voltage is a key parameter determining the harvesting capabilities of diodes operating in photovoltaic regimes. It is highly dependent on temperature which may limit the diode ...

The AC mains voltage is rectified by diode D1, and the resulting DC voltage is smoothed by capacitor C2. Zener diode ZD1 is added as a pre-regulator for total circuit protection. In case of an open ...
