Thermodynamics and energy conversion of near-field thermal radiation: maximum work and efficiency bounds
Ivan Latella, Agustín Pérez-Madrid, J. Miguel Rubi
We analyse the process of conversion of near-field thermal radiation into usable work by considering the radiation emitted between two planar sources supporting surface phonon-pola…
Heat engine driven by photon tunneling in many-body systems
Ivan Latella, Agustín Pérez-Madrid, J. Miguel Rubi +2
Near-field heat engines are devices that convert the evanescent thermal field supported by a primary source into usable mechanical energy. By analyzing the thermodynamic performanc…
Nonresonant contributions to energy transfer through micron-size gaps between neighboring nanostructures
Luciano C. Lapas, Agustín Pérez-Madrid, J. Miguel Rubí
Current theoretical approaches to the analysis of radiative heat exchange at the nanoscale are based on Rytov's stochastic electrodynamics. However, this approach falls short in th…
Heat transfer between nanoparticles: Thermal conductance for near-field interactions
Agustin Pérez-Madrid, José M. Rubí, Luciano C. Lapas
We analyze the heat transfer between two nanoparticles separated by a distance lying in the near-field domain in which energy interchange is due to Coulomb interactions. The therma…
