Incident radiation flux → Electrical work

Matrix context

D = disequilibrium row · C = coupling family column. A cell reads the state of the atlas for that pair.

D.11 × C.32 · Incident radiation flux × Photon momentumfamily: Photon momentum

   radiative → electrical · loss to thermal

   • absorbed or redirected radiation in a semiconductor or thin metal film supporting photon drag; the longitudinal response scales with the optical drive while its polarity is material- and interface-dependent

   solid · illumination required
