Near-field Dressing of Thermal Emission

Victor Guillemot, Raphael Mol, Riccardo Messina +4

Radiative heat transfer at subwavelength distances is generally understood as enhanced energy exchange mediated by photon tunnelling between neighboring bodies. While near-field in…

Breakdown of Fluctuational Electrodynamics in the Extreme Near Field

Philippe Ben-Abdallah

Fluctuational electrodynamics relies on the assumption that thermal fluctuations in distinct bodies are statistically independent. It is shown that this approximation breaks down i…

Superballistic transport of thermal photons in confined many-body systems

Jian Dong, Junming Zhao, Philippe Ben-Abdallah +1

Ballistic transport, realized when the system size is smaller than the mean free path of energy carriers, is traditionally regarded as the ultimate limit for energy transfer. Here,…

Mpemba Effect in Many-Body Systems Near Equilibrium

Philippe Ben-Abdallah

The Mpemba effect, in which a system initially farther from equilibrium relaxes faster than a closer one, has been observed in a wide variety of linear and nonlinear systems. Here…

Interference-Controlled Radiative Heat Transport in Time-Modulated Networks

Philippe Ben-Abdallah

We demonstrate photonic control of radiative heat transport in nanoscale networks through phase-controlled interference between elastic and inelastic Floquet scattering channels in…

Many-Body Floquet Theory for Radiative Heat Transfer in Time-Modulated Systems

Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah

We develop a general theory of radiative heat exchange between dipoles with time-modulated optical properties. This framework extends fluctuational electrodynamics beyond equilibri…
