Thermal Casimir Force Imaging of Nonequilibrium Hot Electrons

Weikang Lu, Ziyi Xu, Hewan Zhang +11

The thermal Casimir effect, arising from fluctuating electromagnetic fields of thermally agitated charges, induces thermosensitive forces and presents a novel approach to detecting…

Transition from near-field to extreme near-field radiative heat transfer

Fridolin Geesmann, Philipp Thurau, Sophie Rodehutskors +4

The radiative heat transfer in the extreme near-field regime, i.e. for distances below 10 nm, remains poorly understood. There are competing experimental results in this regime, wi…

Local density of states above a disk -- geometrical vs. thermal boundary conditions

Svend-Age Biehs, Achim Kittel, Zhenghua An

We analytically calculate the contribution to the local density of states due to thermal sources in a disk-like patch within the framework of fluctuational electrodynamics. We furt…

Thermal near-field energy density and LDOS in topological 1D SSH chains and 2D SSH lattices of plasmonic nanoparticles

Annika Ott, Zhenghua An, Achim Kittel +1

We derive a general expression for electric and magnetic part of the near-field energy density of dipoles of temperatures immersed in a background field havi…

On the heat transfer across a vacuum gap mediated by Casimir force

Svend-Age Biehs, Achim Kittel, Philippe Ben-Abdallah

Following a recent report on experiments it has been claimed that a phonon heat transfer through a vacuum gap between two solids due to quantum fluctuations had been measured. Here…
