Inspired by the unique design of the shells of snails inhabiting the deep-sea hydrothermal environment, here we theoretically study the temperature response of a bilayer to an external thermal impulse. A semi-analytical solution to the…
We consider coherent radiative thermal conductance of a multilayer photonic crystal. The crystal consists of alternating layers of lossless dielectric slabs and vacuum, where heat is conducted only through photons. We show that such a…
The thermal stability in nanostructured magnetic systems is an important issue for applications in information storage. From a theoretical and simulation perspective, an accurate prediction of thermally-activated transitions is a…
Radiative heat transfer between two bodies saturates at very short separation distances due to the nonlocal optical response of the materials. In this work, we show that the presence of radiative interactions with a third body or external…
This study analyzes the behavior of a differentially heated channel flow by means of a direct numerical simulations (DNS) with variable thermophysical properties under low-speed conditions focusing on the impact of the temperature gradient…
Understanding the stability of thin film nanomagnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) against thermally induced magnetization reversal is important when designing perpendicularly magnetized patterned media and magnetic random…
In the current research, we investigate the concept of spontaneously nonequilibrium dimension (SND), and show that a SND-based system can break the second law of thermodynamics. The main characteristic of the SND is the inherent…
We study a planar bubble wall that is traveling at an ultrarelativistic speed through a thermal plasma. This situation may arise during a first-order electroweak phase transition in the early universe. As particles cross the wall, it is…
Thermal rectification phenomenon is a manifestation of an asymmetry in the heat flux when the temperature difference between two interacting thermal reservoirs is reversed. In this letter, we present a far-field radiative thermal rectifier…
We show that periodic multilayered structures allow to drastically enhance near-field radiative heat transfer between nanoparticles. In particular, when the two nanoparticles are placed on each side of the multilayered structure, at the…
We propose a novel class of temperature-tunable semiconductor metamaterials that exhibit negative refraction in the terahertz spectral range. These metamaterials are based on doped semiconductor superlattices with ultrathin barriers of…
Degradation in performances of air conditioners and refrigerators is caused by a frost formation and adhesion on the surface. In the present study, by means of the classical molecular dynamics simulation, we investigate how and how much the…
We develop a dipole model describing the thermal far-field radiation of a nanoparticle in close vicinity to a substrate. By including in our description the contribution of eddy currents and the possibility to choose different temperatures…
Side channels remain a challenge to information flow control and security in modern computing platforms. Resource partitioning techniques that minimise the number of shared resources among processes are often used to address this challenge.…
The thermal properties of a material with a spatio-temporal modulation in both the thermal conductivity and the mass density are studied. The special configuration studied here consists of a modulation in a wave-like fashion. It is found…
We numerically investigate the structures of the near-plate temperature profiles close to the bottom and top plates of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard flow in a cylindrical sample at Rayleigh numbers Ra=10^8 to Ra=2\times10^{12} and Prandtl…
We theoretically investigate nonlinear ballistic thermoelectric transport in a superlattice-structured nanowire. By a special choice of nonuniform widths of the superlattice barriers - analogous to anti-reflection coating in optical systems…
We investigate the low-temperature reaction rates for radiative capture processes of three particles. We compare direct and sequential capture mechanisms and rates using realistic phenomenological parametrizations of the corresponding…
The development of thermal stresses inside refractory ceramics experiencing severe thermal shock is studied. The present analysis departs from the linear theory of thermal stresses as it accounts for temperature dependent thermal and…
In this work, we propose a near-field radiative thermal transistor made of two graphene-covered silicon carbide (SiC) plates separated by a nanometer vacuum gap. Thick SiC plates serve as the thermal "source" and "drain", while graphene…
