Phase transitions in Thirring's model
Alessandro Campa, Lapo Casetti, Ivan Latella +2
In his pioneering work on negative specific heat, Walter Thirring in\-tro\-duced a model that is solvable in the microcanonical ensemble. Here, we give a complete description of th…
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…
Near-field thermodynamics and nanoscale energy harvesting
Ivan Latella, Agustín Pérez-Madrid, Luciano C. Lapas +1
We study the thermodynamics of near-field thermal radiation between two identical polar media at different temperatures. As an application, we consider an idealized energy harvesti…
Near-field thermodynamics: Useful work, efficiency, and energy harvesting
Ivan Latella, Agustín Pérez-Madrid, Luciano C. Lapas +1
We show that the maximum work that can be obtained from the thermal radiation emitted between two planar sources in the near-field regime is much larger than that corresponding to…
Long-range interacting systems and the Gibbs-Duhem equation
Ivan Latella, Agustín Pérez-Madrid
The generalized Gibbs-Duhem equation is obtained for systems with long-range interactions in spatial dimensions. We consider that particles in the system interact through a slo…
Violation of Fundamental Thermodynamic Law or Invalid Microstate Densities?
K. Michaelian, I. Santamaría-Holek, A. Pérez-Madrid
It is often incorrectly assumed that the number of microstates Ω(E,V,N,...) available to an isolated system can have arbitrary dependence on the extensive variables E,V,N, .... How…
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…
