Smart thermal management with near-field thermal radiation
Ivan Latella, Svend-Age Biehs, Philippe Ben-Abdallah
When two objects at different temperatures are separated by a vacuum gap they can exchange heat by radiation only. At large separation distances (far-field regime) the amount of tr…
Radiative thermal rectification in many-body systems
Ivan Latella, Philippe Ben-Abdallah, Moladad Nikbakht
Radiative thermal diodes based on two-element structures rectify heat flows thanks to a temperature dependence of material optical properties. The heat transport asymmetry through…
Graphene-based autonomous pyroelectric system for near-field energy conversion
Ivan Latella, Philippe Ben-Abdallah
In the close vicinity of a hot solid, at distances smaller than the thermal wavelength, a strong electromagnetic energy density exists because of the presence of evanescent field.…
Monte Carlo simulations in the unconstrained ensemble
Ivan Latella, Alessandro Campa, Lapo Casetti +3
The unconstrained ensemble describes completely open systems whose control parameters are chemical potential, pressure, and temperature. For macroscopic systems with short-range in…
