Electric double layer effect in an extreme near-field heat transfer between metal surfaces

Abstract

Calculations of heat transfer between two plates of gold in an extreme near field is performed taking into account the existence of the electric double layer on metal surfaces. For d < 3nm the double layer contribution exceeds the predictions of the conversional theory of the heat transfer by several orders of magnitudes. This effect is due to a coupling between the radiation electric field and the double layer dipole moment. The results obtained can be used for the heat management at the nanoscale by intentionally changing the parameters of surface dipoles with the help of engineering.
