Giant near-field mediated heat flux at the nanometer scale

Konstantin Kloppstech, Nils Könne, Svend-Age Biehs +4

In this Letter, we report on quantitative measurements of the absolute near-field mediated heat flux between a gold coated near-field scanning thermal microscope (NSThM) tip and a…

Heat flux splitter for near-field thermal radiation

Philippe Ben-Abdallah, Ali Belarouci, Luc Frechette +1

We demonstrate the possibility to efficiently split the near-field heat flux exchanged between graphene nano-disks by tuning their doping. This result paves the way for the develop…

Hyperbolic blackbody

Svend-Age Biehs, Slawa Lang, Alexander Yu. Petrov +2

The blackbody theory is revisited in the case of thermal electromagnetic fields inside uniaxial anisotropic media in thermal equilibrium with a heat bath. When these media are hype…

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…
