Far- and near-field photon noise limits to the detectivity of nanometer-thick thermal detectors
Olivier Merchiers, Aapo Varpula, Kirsi Tappura +2
Thermal-radiation detectors such as bolometers -- often found as thin, suspended films -- are intrinsically limited by their optical absorption properties and by their intrinsic th…
Strong tip-sample coupling in thermal radiation scanning tunneling microscopy
Karl Joulain, Philippe Ben-Abdallah, Pierre-Olivier Chapuis +3
We analyze how a probing particle modifies the infrared electromagnetic near field of a sample. The particle, described by electric and magnetic polarizabilities, represents the ti…
Tip-sample electromagnetic interaction in the infrared: Effective polarizabilities, retarded image dipole model and near-field thermal radiation detection
Karl Joulain, Philippe Ben-Abdallah, Pierre-Olivier Chapuis +2
We analyse how a probing particle modifies infrared electromagnetic near fields. The particle, assimilated to both electric and magnetic dipoles, represents the tip of an aperturel…
Radiative heat transfer between metallic nanoparticles
Pierre-Olivier Chapuis, Marine Laroche, Sebastian Volz +1
In this letter, we study the radiative heat transfer between two nanoparticles in the near field and in the far field. We find that the heat transfer is dominated by the electric d…
Effects of spatial dispersion in near-field radiative heat transfer between two parallel metallic surfaces
Pierre-Olivier Chapuis, Sebastian Volz, Carsten Henkel +2
We study the heat transfer between two parallel metallic semi-infinite media with a gap in the nanometer-scale range. We show that the near-field radiative heat flux saturates at d…
