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…
