Optimized Nanogap Thermophotovoltaic Devices for Waste Heat Recovery
Mehran Habibzadeh, Sheila Edalatpour
Nanogap thermophotovoltaic (TPV) devices can deliver high power densities even with the medium-temperature heat sources. As such, these devices are very promising for recovering in…
Interfacial Heat Transport via Evanescent Radiation by Hot Electrons
William D. Hutchins, Saman Zare, Mehran Habibzadeh +2
We predict an additional thermal transport pathway across metal/non-metal interfaces with large electron-phonon non-equilibrium via evanescent radiative heat transfer. In such syst…
Enhancing Near-Field Radiative Heat Transfer between Dissimilar Dielectric Media by Coupling Surface Phonon Polaritons to Graphenes Plasmons
Mehran Habibzadeh, Md. Shofiqul Islam, Philippe K. Chow +1
Dielectric media are very promising for near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) applications as these materials can thermally emit surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) resulting in…
Phonon Thermal Transport between Two in-Plane, Two-Dimensional Nanoribbons in the Extreme Near-Field Regime
Md Jahid Hasan Sagor, Sheila Edalatpour
The phonon thermal conductance of sub-nanometric vacuum gaps between two in-plane nanoribbons of two-dimensional materials (graphene and silicene) is analyzed using the atomistic G…
