Channel-based algebraic limits to conductive heat transfer
Prashanth S. Venkataram, Sean Molesky, Juan Carlos Cuevas +1
Recent experimental advances probing coherent phonon and electron transport in nanoscale devices at contact have motivated theoretical channel-based analyses of conduction based on…
Mechanical relations between conductive and radiative heat transfer
Prashanth S. Venkataram, Riccardo Messina, Juan Carlos Cuevas +2
We present a general nonequilibrium Green's function formalism for modeling heat transfer in systems characterized by linear response that establishes the formal algebraic relation…
Fluctuational Electrodynamics in Atomic and Macroscopic Systems: van der Waals Interactions and Radiative Heat Transfer
Prashanth S. Venkataram, Jan Hermann, Alexandre Tkatchenko +1
We present an approach to describing fluctuational electrodynamic (FED) interactions, particularly van der Waals (vdW) interactions as well as radiative heat transfer (RHT), betwee…
Fundamental limits to attractive and repulsive Casimir--Polder forces
Prashanth S. Venkataram, Sean Molesky, Pengning Chao +1
We derive upper and lower bounds on the Casimir--Polder force between an anisotropic dipolar body and a macroscopic body separated by vacuum via algebraic properties of Maxwell's e…
Fundamental limits to radiative heat transfer: theory
Sean Molesky, Prashanth S. Venkataram, Weiliang Jin +1
Near-field radiative heat transfer between bodies at the nanoscale can surpass blackbody limits on thermal radiation by orders of magnitude due to contributions from evanescent ele…
-operator bounds on angle-integrated absorption and thermal radiation for arbitrary objects
Sean Molesky, Weiliang Jin, Prashanth S. Venkataram +1
We derive fundamental per-channel bounds on angle-integrated absorption and thermal radiation for arbitrary bodies---for any given material susceptibility and bounding region---tha…
