We demonstrate that in confined plasmonic metal structures subject to ultra-fast laser excitation electron thermal diffusion can provide relaxation faster than the energy transfer to the lattice. This relaxation occurs due to excitation of…

A lightsail can be accelerated to ultra-high speed by the radiation pressure of a laser having an intensity of the order of GW/m$^2$, which though presents a critical challenge in the thermal management of lightsails. In this letter, we…

We study the mechanical fluctuations of a micrometer sized silicon cantilever subjected to a strong heat flow, thus having a highly non-uniform local temperature. In this non-equilibrium steady state, we show that fluctuations are…

Specific heat and linear thermal expansivity are fundamental thermal dynamics and have been proven as interesting relaxing quantities to investigate in glass transition and glassy state. However, their possibility has much less been…

Atomic force microscopy cantilevers are often, intentionally or not, heated at their extremity. We describe a model to compute the resulting temperature field in the cantilever and in the surrounding fluid on a wide temperature range. In…

The paper offers a discrete thermodynamic model of lasers. Laser is an open system; its equilibrium is based on a balance of two thermodynamic forces, one related to the incoming pumping power and another to the emitted light. The basic…

Ac electrokinetic flows are commonly used for manipulating micron-scale particles in a biosensor system. At the solid-liquid state there are two kinds of processes in the reaction between analytes and ligands: the mass transport process and…

We uncover an unforeseen asymmetry in relaxation -- for a pair of thermodynamically equidistant temperature quenches, one from a lower and the other from a higher temperature, the relaxation at the ambient temperature is faster in case of…

In a recent Letter [A. Lapolla and A. Godec, Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 110602 (2020)], thermal relaxation was observed to occur faster from cold to hot (heating) than from hot to cold (cooling). Here we show that overdamped diffusion in…

Based on the phenomenological theory of heat diffusion, we show that the generated peak temperature $T_{\text{max}}$ after absorption of a laser pulse strongly depends on the pulse duration. We identify three different heat conduction…

What is the fastest way to heat a system which is coupled to a temperature controlled oven? The intuitive answer is to use only the hottest temperature available. However, we show that often it is possible to achieve an exponentially faster…

Recent developments of the pump-probe thermoreflectance methods (such as the beam-offset and elliptical-beam approaches of the time-domain and frequency-domain thermoreflectance techniques) enabled measurements of the thermal conductivities…

In many high-profile applications, such as nuclear fusion and pumping of active media of short-wavelength lasers, it is necessary to achieve high specific input of power of an electromagnetic beam in a target. Diffraction sets the lower…

When heated, micro-resonators present a shift of their resonance frequencies. We study specifically silicon cantilevers heated locally by laser absorption, and evaluate theoretically and experimentally their temperature profile and its…

High temperatures promote kinetic processes which can drive crystal synthesis towards ideal thermodynamic conditions, thereby realizing samples of superior quality. While accessing very high temperatures in thin-film epitaxy is becoming…

Vertically aligned mono-domain nematic liquid crystal elastomers contract when heated. If a temperature gradient is applied across the width of such a cantilever, inhomogeneous strain distribution leads to bending motion. We modelled the…

An expression for the two-particle relaxation time of collective excitations on a distorted Fermi surface in the diffusion approach to kinetic theory is obtained. The general case of momentum-dependent diffusion and drift coefficients is…

Simple finite differencing of the anisotropic diffusion equation, where diffusion is only along a given direction, does not ensure that the numerically calculated heat fluxes are in the correct direction. This can lead to negative…

This paper describes the automation of a laser heating arrangement for synthesizing and studying materials at high pressures (up to ~ 1 Mbar) and high temperatures (up to ~ 5000 K). In this arrangement, a diamond anvil high-pressure cell…

Rapid heating of small buried regions by laser generated fast electrons may be useful for applications such as XUV radiation sources or as drivers for shock experiments. In non-structured targets the heating profile possesses a global…
