AbstractThe ability to convert long-wavelength infrared (IR) light to electricity has become important for a number of current and emerging technologies, including thermophotovoltaics for waste or primary energy conversion, IR power beaming, and IR photodetectors. A key barrier to many applications, however, is the availability of high-performance photovoltaic cells tailored to these wavelengths of light. Current technologies exhibit insufficient performance and high cost due to material and fabrication
