Thanks, so what do you suggest? As you might be able to conclude, that the Mo and Cr would have similar structure to W, so going by the Geometry, can we use them as alternatives of W based PhC's for TPV?

http://www.mit.edu/~ivanc/Publications/2006_%202D%20Tungsten%20as%20TPV%20Selective%20emitters.pdf but these guys are using tungsten and explaining the reason for using tungsten kindly refer to the page 2 of the publication regards wolf

Yes, so far that's what I have read, I mean its just been 3 days I have stepped into this field. sorry, I missed your question. http://www.science.unitn.it/~semicon/archive/2007-OE-Riboli.pdf seems like they do make that point of your about the Geometry more elaborate.

Thanks for your reply, Zz, actually, Copper might not be able to suppress nm waves? The refractive index of tungsten provides for increased normal emittance at wavelengths shorter than 2μm, and suppressed emittance at longer wavelengths. I need your opinion if Cu is capable of that, I just...

Hello PF, I came across a fact that, tungsten, molybdenum and chromium all have 6 valence electrons. Now,if one uses Molybdenum and Chromium instead of tungsten in photonic crystals for TPV(Thermo PhotoVoltaics) does it mean: 1. All are capable of releasing equal number of photons...
