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…

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…

Broadband directional thermal emission with anisothermal microsources

Florian Herz, Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah

Thermal emission is naturally spatially incoherent and lacks directionality. Here, we demonstrate that by precisely controlling the spatial temperature distribution within a solid,…
