Anomalous enhancement of thermal radiation transport by quasidisorder
Cheng-Long Zhou, Xin-Yu Jia, Shui-Hua Yang +4
The transition from order to disorder is conventionally regarded as detrimental to solid-state heat transfer in classical wave and quasiparticle systems. In striking contrast, we s…
Twist-induced near-field radiative thermal regulator assisted by cylindrical surface modes
Jian-You Wang, Yong Zhang, Xiao-Ping Luo +2
Near-field radiative heat transfer (RHT) can surpass Planck's blackbody limit by several orders of magnitude due to the tunneling effect of thermal photons. The ability to understa…
Reflectors Tune Near-Field Thermal Transport
Yun-Chao Hao, Matthias Krüger, Mauro Antezza +3
We explore near-field thermal radiation transport in nanoparticles embedded within a multilayer slab structure, focusing on dynamic modulation of heat flux via cavity interactions.…
Unconventional Thermophotonic Charge Density Wave
Cheng-Long Zhou, Zahra Torbatian, Shui-Hua Yang +5
Charge-order states of broken symmetry, such as charge density wave (CDW), are able to induce exceptional physical properties, however, the precise understanding of the underlying…
Gain-loss-engineering: a new platform for extreme anisotropic thermal photon tunneling
Cheng-Long Zhou, Yu-Chen Peng, Yong Zhang +3
We explore a novel approach to achieving anisotropic thermal photon tunneling, inspired by the concept of parity-time symmetry in quantum physics. Our method leverages the modulati…
