The radiative heat transfer between two dielectrics can be strongly enhanced in the near field in the presence of surface phonon-polariton resonances. Nevertheless, the spectral mismatch between the surface modes supported by two dissimilar…

An increasing number of papers propose routes to implement thermal counterparts of electronic rectification. These schemes are mainly based on combinations of crystal anharmonicity and broken mirror symmetry. With respect to graphene,…

In this letter, we have demonstrated the possibility to efficiently relay the radiative heat flux between two nanoparticles by opening a smooth channel for heat transfer. By coating the nanoparticles with a silica shell and modifying the…
In this paper, heat flux in graphene nano ribbons has been studied by using molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that the heat flux runs preferentially along the direction of decreasing width, which demonstrates significant thermal…
We consider the near-field radiative energy transfer between two separated parallel plates: graphene supported by a substrate and a magneto-optic medium. We first study the scenario in which the two plates have the same temperature. An…

Radiative thermal diodes based on two-element structures rectify heat flows thanks to a temperature dependence of material optical properties. The heat transport asymmetry through these systems, however, remains weak without a significant…

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…
As an analogue to electrical diode, a radiative thermal diode allows radiation to transfer more efficiently in one direction than in the opposite direction by operating in a contactless mode. In this study, we demonstrated that, within the…
We discuss the non-radiative heat transfer in non-equilibrium double layer graphene system. We show that at the neutrality point the heat exchange is dominated by the inter-layer plasmon modes and derive analytic expressions for the heat…
Graphene is considered as a promising platform for detectors of high-frequency radiation up to the terahertz (THz) range due to graphene$'$s superior electron mobility. Previously it has been shown that graphene field effect transistors…
Thermal rectifiers are devices that have different thermal conductivities in opposing directions of heat flow. The realization of practical thermal rectifiers relies significantly on a sound understanding of the underlying mechanisms of…
