We analyze the coupling between conduction and radiative heat transfer in near-field regime between two coaxial cylinders separated by a vacuum gap. By solving the heat transport equation in the steady-state regime between metals or polar…

We investigate optical forces on oscillating dipoles close to a phase-change vanadium dioxide (VO$_2$) film, which exhibits a metal-insulator transition around $340$ K and low thermal hysteresis. This configuration is related to one…

The dynamic heat transfer between two half-spaces separated by a vacuum gap due to coupling of their surface modes is modelled using the theory that describes the dynamic energy transfer between two coupled harmonic oscillators each…

When two objects at different temperatures are separated by a vacuum gap they can exchange heat by radiation only. At large separation distances (far-field regime) the amount of transferred heat flux is limited by Stefan-Boltzmann's law…

A stable suspension of nanoscale particles due to the Casimir force is of great interest for many applications such as sensing, non-contract nano-machines. However, the suspension properties are difficult to change once the devices are…

We present high precision measurements of the radiative heat transfer of a glass microsphere immersed in a thermal bath in vacuum facing three different planar substrates (SiO2, SiC and Au), which exhibit very different optical behaviors in…

Stefan-Boltzmann's law indicates that far-field blackbody radiation scales at the fourth power of temperature. The temperature dependence of radiative heat transfer in the near field is expected to be very different due to the contribution…

We explore near-field radiative heat transfer between two bodies under time modulation by developing a rigorous fluctuational electrodynamics formalism. We demonstrate that time modulation can results in the enhancement, suppression,…

We present an experimental demonstration of passive, dynamic thermal regulation in a solid-state system with temperature-dependent thermal emissivity switching. We achieve this effect using a multilayered device, comprised of a vanadium…

Electrically driven metal-insulator transition in vanadium dioxide (VO2) is of interest in emerging memory devices, neural computation, and high speed electronics. We report on the fabrication of out-of-plane VO2 metal-insulator-metal (MIM)…

We present a thermal rectification device concept based on far-field radiative exchange between two selective emitters. Rectification is achieved due to the fact that one of the selective emitters radiative properties are independent on…

We analyze the heat transfer between two metals separated by a vacuum gap in the extreme near-field regime. In this cross-over regime between conduction and radiation, heat exchanges are mediated by photon, phonon and electron tunneling. We…

A tomographic study of near-field radiative heat exchanges between a mesoscopic object and a substrate immersed in a thermal bath is carried out within the theoretical framework of fluctuational electrodynamics. By using the…

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) exhibits a hysteretic insulator-to-metal transition near room temperature, forming the foundation for various forms of resistive switching devices. Usually, these are realized in the form of two-terminal bridge-like…

Systems with multistable equilibrium states are of tremendous importance in information science to conceive logic gates. Here we predict that simple phase-transition oscillators driven by near-field heat exchanges have a bistable…

The traditional approach to studying near-field thermal transfer is based on fluctuational electrodynamics. However, this approach may not be suitable for nonequilibrium states due to dynamic drivings. In our work, we introduce a…

Experimental insight in the nanoscale dynamics underlying switching in novel memristive devices is limited owing to the scarcity of techniques that can probe the electronic structure of these devices. Scattering scanning near-field optical…

Developing thermal analogues of field-effect transistor could open the door to a low-power and even zero-power communication technology working with heat rather than electricity. These solid-sate devices could also find many applications in…

We report a bistable organic memory made of a single organic layer embedded between two electrodes, we compare to the organic/metal nanoparticle/organic tri-layers device [L.P. Ma, J. Liu, and Y. Yang, Appl. Phys. Lett. 80, 2997 (2002)]. We…
