Enhanced Infrared Emission by Thermally Switching the Excitation of Magnetic Polariton with Scalable Microstructured VO2 Metasurfaces
Linshuang Long, Sydney Taylor, Liping Wang
Dynamic radiative cooling attracts fast-increasing interest due to its adaptability to changing environment and promises for more energy-savings than the static counterpart. Here w…
Spectrally-Selective Vanadium Dioxide Based Tunable Metafilm Emitter for Dynamic Radiative Cooling
Sydney Taylor, Ryan McBurney, Linshuang Long +3
Dynamic radiative cooling with variable emissive power is experimentally demonstrated in this study by a wavelength-selective tunable metafilm emitter, which consists of an opaque…
Solar Thermal Energy Conversion Enhanced by Selective Metafilm Absorber under Multiple Solar Concentrations at High Temperatures
Hassan Alshehri, Qing Ni, Sydney Taylor +3
Concentrating solar power, particularly parabolic trough system with solar concentrations less than 50, requires spectrally selective solar absorbers that are thermally stable at h…
Super-Planckian Radiative Heat Transfer between Metallic Surfaces Due to Near-Field and Thin-Film Effects
Payam Sabbaghi, Linshuang Long, Xiaoyan Ying +4
In this Letter we experimentally demonstrate that the radiative heat transfer between metallic planar surfaces exceeds the blackbody limit by employing the near-field and thin-film…
