We present an approach for achieving large Kerr $\chi^{(3)}$--mediated thermal energy transfer at the nanoscale that exploits a general coupled-mode description of triply resonant, four-wave mixing processes. We analyze the efficiency of…
According to the Nernst theorem or, equivalently, the third law of thermodynamics, the absolute zero temperature is not attainable. Starting with an initial positive temperature, we show that there exist solutions to a Kelvin-Voigt model…
Surface tension of small grains and droplets makes them stable only at a much lower temperature than in bulk. This makes spontaneous nucleation unfavorable in many cases. Kinetic approaches are delicate in that one can easily generate…
By combining Three Dimensional Integrated Circuits with the Network-on-Chip infrastructure to obtain 3D Networks-on-Chip (3D-NoCs), the new on-chip communication paradigm brings several advantages on lower power, smaller footprint and lower…
The reciprocity principle governs the symmetry in transmission of electromagnetic and acoustic waves, as well as the diffusion of heat between two points in space, with important consequences for thermal management and energy harvesting.…
We investigate the behaviour of a non-commutative radiating Reissner-Nordstrom(Re-No)black hole. We find some interesting results : a). the existence of a minimal non-zero mass to which the black hole can shrink. b). a finite maximum…
We study heat radiation and radiative heat transfer for nanoparticles in the presence of an infinitely long cylinder in different geometrical configurations, based on its electromagnetic Green's tensor. The heat radiation of a single…
The integral law of thermal radiation by finite size emitters is studied. Two geometrical characteristics of a radiating body or a cavity, its volume and its boundary area, define two terms in its radiance. The term defined by the volume…
Heat-bath algorithmic cooling (AC) of spins is a theoretically powerful effective cooling approach, that (ideally) cools spins with low polarization exponentially better than cooling by reversible entropy manipulations alone. Here, we…
Passive radiative cooling is currently the frontier technology in renewable-energy research. In terms of extraterrestrial applications, radiative cooling is a critical component to the thermal management system of a spacecraft, where the…
Stefan-Boltzmann's law indicates that far-field blackbody radiation scales at the fourth power of temperature. The temperature dependence of radiative heat transfer in the near field is expected to be very different due to the contribution…
We theoretically propose a nonreciprocal spin Seebeck effect, i.e., nonreciprocal spin transport generated by a temperature gradient, in antiferromagnetic insulators with broken inversion symmetry. We find that nonreciprocity in…
The thermal instability with a piecewise power law cooling function is investigated using one- and three-dimensional simulations with periodic and shearing-periodic boundary conditions in the presence of constant thermal diffusion and…
Three-dimensional icosahedral random tilings with rhombohedral cells are studied in the semi-entropic model. We introduce a global energy measure defined by the variance of the quasilattice points in the orthogonal space. The internal…
By utilizing Floquet driving protocols and interlacing them with a judicious reservoir emission engineering we achieve extreme non-reciprocal thermal radiation. We show that the latter is rooted in an interplay between a direct radiation…
The general idea that optical radiation may cool matter was put forward by Pringsheim already in 1929. Doppler cooling of dilute atomic gases is an extremely successful application of this concept, and more recently anti-Stokes cooling in…
Small scale renewable energy harvesting is an attractive solution to the growing need for power in remote technological applications. For this purpose, localized thermal gradients on-chip--created via radiative cooling--could be exploited…
In the present work, the effects of diffuse and collimated radiation on the symmetrical cooling case of natural convection in a two-dimensional cavity heated from the bottom have been investigated, numerically. The cavity is convectively…
A thermostat senses the temperature of a physical system and switches heating or cooling devices on or off, regulating the flow of heat to maintain the system's temperature near a desired setpoint. Taking advantage of recent advances in…
Unlike solids, the heat transfer in fluids can be greatly enhanced due to the presence of convection. Under gravity, an unevenly distributed temperature field results in differences in buoyancy, driving fluid motion that is seen in…
