High-rectification near-field radiative thermal diode using Weyl semimetals
Yang Hu, Haotuo Liu, Bing Yang +4
Thermal diodes, which allow heat transfer in a preferential direction while being blocked in a reverse direction, have numerous applications in thermal management, information proc…
Coupling between hyperbolic phonon polaritons excited in two ultrathin hBN sheets
Xiaohu Wu, Chengshuai Su, Kezhang Shi +2
In this work, the hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPPs) in ultrathin hBN sheets are numerically studied. The dispersion relation and distribution of electric field are calculated to…
Rotation-induced significant modulation of near-field radiative heat transfer between hyperbolic nanoparticles
Yang Hu, Yasong Sun, Zhiheng Zheng +3
Modulation of near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) with rotated anisotropic hBN and MoO3 nanoparticles (NPs) are investigated. The spectral heat power, total heat power and e…
Corrected Proximity-Force Approximation for Lateral Casimir Forces
F. Bao, K. Shi
The widely-adopted proximity-force approximation (PFA) to estimate normal Casimir forces is known to be asymptotically exact at vanishing separations. In this letter, we propose a…
Inhomogeneity-Induced Casimir Transport of Nanoparticles
F. Bao, K. Shi, G. Cao +2
This letter proposes a scheme for transporting nanoparticles immersed in a fluid, relying on quantum vacuum fluctuations. The mechanism lies in the inhomogeneity-induced lateral Ca…
Quantum propulsion and trapping of nano-objects by inhomogeneity-induced lateral Casimir forces
F. Bao, K. Shi, S. He
Lateral Casimir force near a laterally-inhomogeneous plate is first revealed by both rigorous simulations and proximity approximations. The inhomogeneity-induced lateral Casimir fo…
