Near-field Dressing of Thermal Emission
Victor Guillemot, Raphael Mol, Riccardo Messina +4
Radiative heat transfer at subwavelength distances is generally understood as enhanced energy exchange mediated by photon tunnelling between neighboring bodies. While near-field in…
Breakdown of Fluctuational Electrodynamics in the Extreme Near Field
Philippe Ben-Abdallah
Fluctuational electrodynamics relies on the assumption that thermal fluctuations in distinct bodies are statistically independent. It is shown that this approximation breaks down i…
Mpemba Effect in Many-Body Systems Near Equilibrium
Philippe Ben-Abdallah
The Mpemba effect, in which a system initially farther from equilibrium relaxes faster than a closer one, has been observed in a wide variety of linear and nonlinear systems. Here…
Superballistic transport of thermal photons in confined many-body systems
Jian Dong, Junming Zhao, Philippe Ben-Abdallah +1
Ballistic transport, realized when the system size is smaller than the mean free path of energy carriers, is traditionally regarded as the ultimate limit for energy transfer. Here,…
Interference-Controlled Radiative Heat Transport in Time-Modulated Networks
Philippe Ben-Abdallah
We demonstrate photonic control of radiative heat transport in nanoscale networks through phase-controlled interference between elastic and inelastic Floquet scattering channels in…
Many-Body Floquet Theory for Radiative Heat Transfer in Time-Modulated Systems
Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah
We develop a general theory of radiative heat exchange between dipoles with time-modulated optical properties. This framework extends fluctuational electrodynamics beyond equilibri…
