Nanoscale heat flux between nanoporous materials.
By combining stochastic electrodynamics and the Maxwell-Garnett description for effective media we study the radiative heat transfer between two nanoporous materials. We show that the heat flux can be significantly enhanced by air inclusions, which we explain by: (a) the presence of additional surface waves that give rise to supplementary channels for heat transfer throughout the gap, (b) an in...
متن کاملNanoscale heat transfer in quantum cascade lasers
We have measured the local lattice temperature distribution and modeled the heat transport in all classes of quantum cascade lasers operating both in the mid-infrared and terahertz ranges. All relevant active regions based on GaAs/AlGaAs, GaInAs/AlGaAsSb, GaInAs/AlInAs/InP material systems have been investigated. A common feature of such complex multiple heterostructures is the strong anisotrop...
متن کاملNanoscale heat transfer--from computation to experiment.
Heat transfer can differ distinctly at the nanoscale from that at the macroscale. Recent advancement in computational and experimental techniques has enabled a large number of interesting observations and understanding of heat transfer processes at the nanoscale. In this review, we will first discuss recent advances in computational and experimental methods used in nanoscale thermal transport s...
متن کاملNanoscale heat engine beyond the Carnot limit.
We consider a quantum Otto cycle for a time-dependent harmonic oscillator coupled to a squeezed thermal reservoir. We show that the efficiency at maximum power increases with the degree of squeezing, surpassing the standard Carnot limit and approaching unity exponentially for large squeezing parameters. We further propose an experimental scheme to implement such a model system by using a single...
