High Resolution Measurement of Near-Field Radiative Heat Transfer enabled by Nanomechanical Resonators
Mathieu Giroux, Chang Zhang, Nikaya Snell +3
Near-field radiative heat transfer (NFHT) research currently suffers from an imbalance between numerous theoretical studies, as opposed to experimental reports that remain, in prop…

Integrated near-field thermo-photovoltaics for on-demand heat recycling
Gaurang R. Bhatt, Bo Zhao, Samantha Roberts +7
The energy transferred via thermal radiation between two surfaces separated by nanometers distances (near-field) can be much larger than the blackbody limit. However, realizing a r…
