Near-Field Radiative Heat Transfer Between Out-of-Phase Graphene-Covered Silica

Abstract

Near-field radiative heat transfer has garnered significant attention due to its potential applications in various fields, including thermal management, energy conversion, and nanoscale heat transport. Graphene, a two-dimensional material with exceptional thermal properties, has emerged as a promising candidate for enhancing radiative heat transfer at nanoscale distances. In this study, we investigate the near-field radiative heat transfer between out-of-phase graphene-covered silica surfaces, aiming to understand the underlying mechanisms, quantify the heat transfer enhancement, and explore potential applications. Silica is widely used in transistors and enhanced heat transfer, can lead to huge benefits in board design.
