Saturation of radiative heat transfer due to many-body thermalization
Ivan Latella, Riccardo Messina, Svend-Age Biehs +2
Radiative heat transfer between two bodies saturates at very short separation distances due to the nonlocal optical response of the materials. In this work, we show that the presen…
Surface currents in Hall devices
M. Creff, F. Faisant, J. M. Rubì +1
A variational approach is used in order to study the stationary states of Hall devices. Charge accumulation, electric potentials and electric currents are investigated on the basis…
Conditions for the generation of spin currents in spin-Hall devices
Jean-Eric Wegrowe, Robert Benda, J. Miguel Rubì
We investigate the out-of-equilibrium stationary states of spin-Hall devices on the basis of the least dissipation principle. We show that, for a bulk paramagnet with spin-orbit in…
Thermodynamics and energy conversion of near-field thermal radiation: maximum work and efficiency bounds
Ivan Latella, Agustín Pérez-Madrid, J. Miguel Rubi
We analyse the process of conversion of near-field thermal radiation into usable work by considering the radiation emitted between two planar sources supporting surface phonon-pola…
Near-field thermodynamics: Useful work, efficiency, and energy harvesting
Ivan Latella, Agustín Pérez-Madrid, Luciano C. Lapas +1
We show that the maximum work that can be obtained from the thermal radiation emitted between two planar sources in the near-field regime is much larger than that corresponding to…
A thermokinetic approach to radiative heat transfer at the nanoscale
Agustín Pérez-Madrid, Luciano C. Lapas, J. Miguel Rubí
Radiative heat exchange at the nanoscale presents a challenge for several areas due to its scope and nature. Here, we provide a thermokinetic description of microscale radiative en…
