  • Abstract
    This work is concerned with the problem of spectral matching between heat source radiation characteristics and spectral response characteristics of the germanium photovoltaic cell. The objective is to find selective radiating materials with high spectral emissivity in a narrow wavelength band centered about the region of maximum response of the Ge-cell and low emissivity elsewhere.
