Electronic heat tunneling between two metals beyond the WKB approximation
Mauricio Gómez Viloria, Philippe Ben-Abdallah, Riccardo Messina
Two metals at different temperatures separated by large gaps exchange heat under the form of electromagnetic radiation. When the separation distance is reduced and they approach co…
Atomistic modeling of extreme near-field heat transport across nanogaps between two polar dielectric materials

In the classical approach to deal with near-field radiative heat exchanges between two closely spaced bodies no coupling between the different heat carriers inside the materials an…
Radiative heat exchange driven by acoustic vibration modes between two solids at the atomic scale
Mauricio Gómez Viloria, Yangyu Guo, Samy Merabia +2
When two solids are separated by a vacuum gap of thickness smaller than the wavelength of acoustic phonons, the latter can tunnel across the gap thanks to van der Waals forces or e…

When two solids at different temperatures are separated by a vacuum gap they relax toward their equilibrium state by exchanging heat either by radiation, phonon or electron tunneli…

Mingkang Wang, L. Tang, C. Y. Ng +6
Quantum fluctuations give rise to Casimir forces between two parallel conducting plates, the magnitude of which increases monotonically as the separation decreases. By introducing…
