In this paper, we explore the far-field radiative thermal rectification potential of common materials such as metals,ceramics and doped semi-conductors using thermo-radiative properties extracted from literature. Seventeen different are considered. The coefficient is then calculated for 136 pairs materials; each pair can be used two terminals a diode. A bias 200 K choice value only bound by dat...

In this paper, the effect of anisotropy on the free vibration of laminated rectangular plate supporting a localized patch mass is investigated. The two variable refined plate theory is applied to define the third order displacement field of a composite rectangular plate. The plate is considered to have simply supported boundaries. The equations of motion for rectangular plate are obtained by ca...

We investigate the radiative properties of plasmonic core-shell nanowire resonators and, using boundary element method calculations, demonstrate enhanced radiative decay rate by up to 3500 times in nanoscale compound semiconductor/metal cavities. Calculation of the local density of optical states enables identification of new types of modes in cavities with mode volumes on the order of 10(-4)(λ...
