Residual surface charge mediated near-field radiative energy transfer: A topological insulator analog
Minggang Luo, Jiaqi Zhu, S. -A. Biehs +2
We study the modifications of near-field radiative energy transfer (NFRET) caused by residual surface charges, which are common in micro- and nano-systems like NEMS/MEMS. The host…
Photonic p-n Junction: An Ideal Near-Field Heat Flux Modulator
Deyu Xu, Junming Zhao, Linhua Liu
Using a pair of p- and n-type semiconductors separated by a nanoscale vacuum gap, we introduce an optoelectronics element prototype, "photonic p-n junction", as an analogue of the…
Photothermal behavior for two-dimensional nanoparticle ensembles: Multiple scattering and thermal accumulation effects
Minggang Luo, Junming Zhao, Linhua Liu +1
Light-assisted micro-nanoscale temperature control in complex nanoparticle network attracts lots of research interests. Many efforts have been put on the optical properties of the…
Near-field radiation assisted smart skin for spacecraft thermal control
Deyu Xu, Junming Zhao, Linhua Liu
Thermal control is of critical importance for normal operation of spacecraft. Given thermal radiation is the only means of heat dissipation in space, an efficient thermal control a…
Normal heat diffusion in many-body system via thermal photons
Minggang Luo, Junming Zhao, Linhua Liu
A normal-diffusion theory for heat transfer in many-body systems via carriers of thermal photons is developed. The thermal conductivity tensor is rigorously derived from fluctuatio…
Many-body effective thermal conductivity in phase-change nanoparticle chains due to near-field radiative heat transfer
Minggang Luo, Junming Zhao, Linhua Liu +2
In dense systems composed of numerous nanoparticles, direct simulations of near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) require considerable computational resources. NFRHT for the si…
