چکیده
When two objects at different temperatures are separated by a vacuum gap they can exchange heat radiation only. At large separation distances (far-field regime) the amount of transferred flux is limited Stefan-Boltzmann's law (blackbody limit). In contrast, subwavelength (near-field this limit be exceeded orders magnitude thanks to contributions evanescent waves. This article reviews recent progress on passive and active control near-field radiative in two- many-body systems.

Active thermal extraction of near-field thermal radiation
Radiative heat transport between materials supporting surface-phonon polaritons is greatly enhanced when the materials are placed at subwavelength separation as a result of the contribution of near-field surface modes. However, the enhancement is limited to small separations due to the evanescent decay of the surface waves. In this work, we propose and numerically demonstrate an active scheme t...
متن کاملNear-field thermal transistor.
Using a block of three separated solid elements, a thermal source and drain together with a gate made of an insulator-metal transition material exchanging near-field thermal radiation, we introduce a nanoscale analog of a field-effect transistor that is able to control the flow of heat exchanged by evanescent thermal photons between two bodies. By changing the gate temperature around its critic...

متن کاملActive Thermal Extraction and Temperature Sensing of Near-field Thermal Radiation
Recently, we proposed an active thermal extraction (ATX) scheme that enables thermally populated surface phonon polaritons to escape into the far-field. The concept is based on a fluorescence upconversion process that also occurs in laser cooling of solids (LCS). Here, we present a generalized analysis of our scheme using the theoretical framework for LCS. We show that both LCS and ATX can be d...
متن کاملThermal infrared near-field spectroscopy.
Despite the seminal contributions of Kirchhoff and Planck describing far-field thermal emission, fundamentally distinct spectral characteristics of the electromagnetic thermal near-field have been predicted. However, due to their evanescent nature their direct experimental characterization has remained elusive. Combining scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy with Fourier-transform s...
