Smart windows passively driven by greenhouse effect
Guillaume Boudan, Etienne Eustache, Patrick Garabedian +2
The rational thermal management of buildings is of major importance for the reduction of the overall primary energy consumption. Smart windows are promising systems which could sav…
Strong slowing down of the thermalization process of solids interacting in extreme near-field regime
Marta Reina, Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah
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…
Radiative cooling induced by time-symmetry breaking in periodically-driven systems
Riccardo Messina, Annika Ott, Christoph Kathmann +2
We theoretically study the thermal relaxation of many-body systems under the action of oscillating external fields. When the magnitude or the orientation of a field is modulated ar…
Mechanical relations between conductive and radiative heat transfer
Prashanth S. Venkataram, Riccardo Messina, Juan Carlos Cuevas +2
We present a general nonequilibrium Green's function formalism for modeling heat transfer in systems characterized by linear response that establishes the formal algebraic relation…
Scalable radiative thermal logic gates based on nanoparticle networks
Christoph Kathmann, Marta Reina, Riccardo Messina +2
We discuss the design of the thermal analog of logic gates in systems made of a collection of nanoparticles. We demonstrate the possibility to perform NOT, OR, NOR, AND and NAND lo…
Many-body radiative heat pumping
Riccardo Messina, Philippe Ben-Abdallah
We introduce a local radiative heat-pumping effect between two bodies in a many-body system, obtained by periodically modulating both the temperature and the position of an interme…
