Analytical Theory of Photon Tunneling and Near-Field Heat Transfer Between Dissimilar Materials
Kartika N. Nimje, Mariano Pascale, Georgia T. Papadakis
The paper derives a closed‑form analytical model for photon tunneling and near‑field radiative heat transfer between two different materials, such as a metal and a semiconductor, h…
Far-field heat transfer and monochromatic thermal currents in a cylindrical nonreciprocal cavity
Guillem Masdemont, Julien Legendre, Georgia T. Papadakis
Breaking Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation yields new opportunities in one-way radiative thermal transport and circuitry. We investigate its consequences in the far-field regime…
The critical role of substrates in mitigating the power-efficiency trade-off in near-field thermophotovoltaics
Kartika N. Nimje, Julien Legendre, Michela F. Picardi +2
Near-field thermophotovoltaic systems can achieve ultra-high power densities, however, this often comes at the cost of reduced efficiency. We show that this power-efficiency trade-…
Fundamental limitations of thermoradiative energy conversion
Maxime Giteau, Michela F. Picardi, Georgia T. Papadakis
Understanding the fundamental limits of various energy conversion approaches is essential for assessing their efficiency and power output. In this work, we derive general performan…
Nonreciprocity in transmission mode with planar structures for arbitrarily polarized light
Michela F. Picardi, Vera I. Moerbeek, Mariano Pascale +1
Approaching thermodynamic limits in light harvesting requires enabling nonreciprocal thermal emission. The majority of previously reported nonreciprocal thermal emitters operate in…
