We have studied electrical switching with S-shaped I-V characteristics in two-terminal MOM devices based on vanadium dioxide thin films. The switching effect is associated with the metal-insulator phase transition. Relaxation oscillations…

Nanothermochromic diffraction gratings based on the metal-insulator transition of $\mathrm{VO_2}$ are fabricated by site-selective ion beam implantation in a $\mathrm{SiO_2}$ matrix. Gratings were defined either (i) directly by spatially…

Active control of heat transfer at the nanoscale has great potentials in thermal logic and energy conversion devices. In the present work, we theoretically propose a radiative thermal switch (RTS) composed of a pair of asymmetric black…

The present work focuses on experimental investigations of a bistabile silicon-on-insulator (SOI) micro-ring resonator (MRR). The resonator exploits a continuous-wave operation of the carrier-induced bistability demonstrating a stable…

Recent experimental studies on near-field thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion have mainly focused on enhancing performance via photon tunneling of evanescent waves. In the sub-micron gap, however, there exist peculiar phenomena…
