Emergence of Nonlocal Hydrodynamics in Many-Body Radiative Heat Transport

Mauricio Gomez Viloria, Florian Herz, Riccardo Messina +1

We develop a nonlocal hydrodynamic theory of radiative heat transport in many-body systems by coarse graining their microscopic electrodynamic interactions. Long-range radiative ex…

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…

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…

Near-field focusing and amplification of tip-substrate radiative heat transfer

Milo Vescovo, Philippe Ben-Abdallah, Riccardo Messina

The spatially resolved near-field radiative heat transfer between a nanoscale probe and a substrate is studied in the fluctuational electrodynamics framework within the dipolar app…

Broadband directional thermal emission with anisothermal microsources

Florian Herz, Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah

Thermal emission is naturally spatially incoherent and lacks directionality. Here, we demonstrate that by precisely controlling the spatial temperature distribution within a solid,…

Non-monotonic radiative heat transfer in the transition from far field to near field

Victor Guillemot, Riccardo Messina, Valentina Krachmalnicoff +4

We present high precision measurements of the radiative heat transfer of a glass microsphere immersed in a thermal bath in vacuum facing three different planar substrates (SiO2, Si…

Deep sub-wavelength scale focusing of heat flux radiated by magneto-optical nanoemitters in the presence of an external magnetic-field

Louis Rihouey, Philippe Ben-Abdallah, Riccardo Messina

We introduce a theoretical framework to describe the heat flux radiated in the near-field regime by a set of magneto-optical thermal nanoemitters close to a substrate in the presen…

Tomography of near-field radiative heat exchange between mesoscopic bodies immersed in a thermal bath

Florian Herz, Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah

A tomographic study of near-field radiative heat exchanges between a mesoscopic object and a substrate immersed in a thermal bath is carried out within the theoretical framework of…

Extreme near-field heat transfer between silica surfaces

Ali Rajabpour, Julien El Hajj, Mauricio Gómez Viloria +4

Despite recent experiments exhibiting an impressive enhancement in radiative heat flux between parallel planar silica surfaces with gap sizes of about 10 nm, the exploration of sub…

Electron tunneling induced thermoelectric effects

Mauricio Gómez Viloria, Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah

We introduce a direct (Seebeck) and inverse (Peltier) thermoelectric effect induced by electron tunneling between closely separated conducting films. When a transverse temperature…

Conduction-radiation coupling between two closely-separated solids

Marta Reina, Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah

In the theory of radiative heat exchanges between two closely-spaced bodies introduced by Polder and van Hove, no interplay between the heat carriers inside the materials and the p…
