Hysteresis-Driven Radiative Mpemba Effect in Phase-Change Nanostructures
Florian Herz
The Mpemba effect states that initially hotter systems cool faster than colder ones. While known in convective, conductive, and quantum systems, its radiative analogue is unexplore…

Substrate-driven topological engineering in plasmonic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains
Florian Herz, Alireza Naeimi, Svend-Age Biehs
We demonstrate the possibility of engineering the topological band structure of a plasmonic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain through the interaction with its electromagnetic enviro…

Broadband directional thermal emission with anisothermal microsources
Florian Herz, Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah
Thermal emission is naturally spatially incoherent and lacks directionality. Here, we demonstrate that by precisely controlling the spatial temperature distribution within a solid,…
