There has been a paradigm shift from the well-known laws of thermal radiation derived over a century ago, valid only when the length scales involved are much larger than the thermal wavelength (around 10 $\mu$m at room temperature), to a…
The integral law of thermal radiation by finite size emitters is studied. Two geometrical characteristics of a radiating body or a cavity, its volume and its boundary area, define two terms in its radiance. The term defined by the volume…
The heat radiated by objects small or comparable to the thermal wavelength can be very different from the classical blackbody radiation as described by the laws of Planck and Stefan-Boltzmann. We use methods based on scattering of…

Astrophysical plasmas are typically magnetized, with the Larmor radii of the charged particles many orders of magnitude smaller than their collisional mean free paths. The fundamental properties of such plasmas, e.g., conduction and…

We study thermal radiation outside equilibrium. The situation considered consists of two bodies emitting photons at two different temperatures. We show that the system evolves to a stationary state characterized by an energy current which…
Energy transport theories are being revisited at the nanoscale, as macroscopic laws known since a century are broken at dimensions smaller than those associated with energy carriers. For thermal radiation, where the typical dimension is…

Photons in blackbody radiation have non-zero interactions due to their couplings to virtual electron-positron pairs in the vacuum. For temperatures much less than the electron mass $m$ these effects can be described by an effective theory…
We have generalized our recent results (Arm. J. Phys., 2014) relating to the dynamics, heating and radiation of a small rotating polarizable particle moving in a thermal radiation field in the case of arbitrary spin orientation. General…

The temperature dependence of magnetization in ferromagnetic nanostructures (e.g., nanoparticles or nanoclusters) is usually analyzed by means of an empirical extension of the Bloch law sufficiently flexible for a good fitting to the…
It is demonstrated that thermal radiation of small occupation number is strongly nonclassical. This includes most forms of naturally occurring radiation. Nonclassicality can be observed as a negative weak value of a positive observable. It…
We give an exact information-theory treatment of the $n$-dimensional black-body radiation process in a non-extensive scenario. We develop a $q$ generalization of the laws of i) Stefan Boltzmann, ii) Planck, and iii) Wien, and show that…
We present a simple and general procedure for calculating the thermal radiation coming from any stationary metric. The physical picture is that the radiation arises as the quasi--classical tunneling of particles through a gravitational…
