Normal and lateral Casimir-Lifshitz forces between a nanoparticle and a graphene grating
Minggang Luo, Youssef Jeyar, Brahim Guizal +1
We study the normal and lateral components of the Casimir-Lifshitz (CL) force between a nanoparticle and 1D graphene grating deposited on a fused silica slab. For this purpose, the…
Effect of top metallic contacts on energy conversion performances for near-field thermophotovoltaics
Youssef Jeyar, Kevin Austry, Minggang Luo +5
The design of metallic contact grids on the front side of thermophotovoltaic cells is critical since it can cause significant optical and electrical resistive losses, particularly…
Reflectors Tune Near-Field Thermal Transport
Yun-Chao Hao, Matthias Krüger, Mauro Antezza +3
We explore near-field thermal radiation transport in nanoparticles embedded within a multilayer slab structure, focusing on dynamic modulation of heat flux via cavity interactions.…
Near-field radiative heat transfer between graphene-covered Weyl semimetals
Yang Hu, Xiaohu Wu, Xiuquan Huang +2
Polariton manipulations introduce novel approaches to modulate the near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT). Our theoretical investigation in this study centers on NFRHT in graph…
Unconventional Thermophotonic Charge Density Wave
Cheng-Long Zhou, Zahra Torbatian, Shui-Hua Yang +5
Charge-order states of broken symmetry, such as charge density wave (CDW), are able to induce exceptional physical properties, however, the precise understanding of the underlying…
Near-field radiative heat transfer between a nanoparticle and a graphene grating
Minggang Luo, Youssef Jeyar, Brahim Guizal +1
We investigate the near-field radiative heat transfer between a normally and/or laterally shifted nanoparticle and a planar fused silica slab coated with a strip graphene grating.…
