Thermal radiative energy exchange between a closely-spaced linear chain of spheres and its environment

Braden Czapla, Arvind Narayanaswamy

In this work, we present expressions for radiative heat transfer between pairs of spheres in a linear chain and between individual spheres and their environment. The expressions ar…

Near-field thermal radiative transfer between two coated spheres

Braden Czapla, Arvind Narayanaswamy

In this work, we present an expression for the near-field thermal radiative transfer between two spheres with an arbitrary numbers of coatings. We numerically demonstrate that the…

A Green's function formalism of energy and momentum transfer in fluctuational electrodynamics

Arvind Narayanaswamy, Yi Zheng

Radiative energy and momentum transfer due to fluctuations of electromagnetic fields arising due to temperature difference between objects is described in terms of the cross-spectr…

Entropy density and entropy flux in near-field thermal radiation

Arvind Narayanaswamy, Yi Zheng

We propose a method to evaluate the entropy density and entropy flux in a vacuum gap between two half-spaces that takes into account influence of near-field effects, i.e., interfer…

Lifshitz theory of van der Waals pressure in dissipative media

Yi Zheng, Arvind Narayanaswamy

We derive a first--principles method of determining the van der Waals or Casimir pressure in a dissipative and dispersive planar multilayered system by calculating the Maxwell stre…

Proximity Effects in Radiative Transfer

Karthik Sasihithlu, Arvind Narayanaswamy

Though the dependence of near-field radiative transfer on the gap between two planar objects is well understood, that between curved objects is still unclear. We show, based on the…
