Tuning the electromagnetic local density of states in graphene-covered systems via strong coupling with graphene plasmons
Riccardo Messina, Jean-Paul Hugonin, Jean-Jacques Greffet +6
It is known that the near-field spectrum of the local density of states of the electromagnetic field above a SiC/air interface displays an intense narrow peak due to the presence o…
Graphene-based photovoltaic cells for near-field thermal energy conversion
Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah
Thermophotovoltaic devices are energy-conversion systems generating an electric current from the thermal photons radiated by a hot body. In far field, the efficiency of these syste…
Coherent thermal conductance in multilayer photonic crystals
Maria Tschikin, Philippe Ben-Abdallah, Svend-Age Biehs
We present an exact calculation of the coherent thermal conductance in a 1-D multilayer photonic crystals (PC) using the S-matrix method. In particular, we study the thermal conduc…
Three-body amplification of photon heat tunneling
Riccardo Messina, Mauro Antezza, Philippe Ben-Abdallah
Resonant tunneling of surface polaritons across a subwavelength vacuum gap between two polar or metallic bodies at different temperatures leads to an almost monochromatic heat tran…
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…
