In this paper, we study the effects of the interparticle interaction range on heat flow. We show that, by increasing the interaction range, we may amplify the thermal conductivity and even change the regime of heat transport. More…

In this letter, we show that the bandwidth of optical band-stop filters made of subwavelength metal structures can be significantly increased by the strong plasmonic near-field coupling through the corners of the periodic metal squares. The…

Optoelectronic components with adjustable parameters, from variable-focal-length lenses to spectral filters that can change functionality upon stimulation, have enormous technological importance. Tuning of such components is conventionally…

Scanning photocurrent maps in inhomogeneous materials contain nontrivial patterns, which often can only be understood with a full model of device geometry and nonuniformities. We remark on the consequences of Onsager reciprocity to the…
