Self-adaptive near-filed thermal stabilizer

Dynamic modulation of thermal emission -- a Tutorial

“…Thermophotovoltaics, moreover, can be used with sources other than the sun, for example to recycle the heat generated in industrial processes. Other applications of thermal radiation, aside from energy production and conversion schemes are thermal imaging 14,15 , radiative cooling [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] , thermal circuitry [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] and camouflaging [40][41][42][43][44] , among others. Thermal radiation is traditionally assumed to be incoherent, however recent results have proven that it can possess a high degree of both spatial and temporal coherence, as we will discuss later.…”

Enhancement of near-field thermal radiation between composite materials with gradient plasmonic nanoparticles

“…12 The exploration of NFRHT has spurred the creation of specialized devices, such as thermophotovoltaics, 13 near-field radiative cooling 14 and thermal management. 15,16 The manipulation of medium permittivity is crucial for controlling the radiative properties of NFRHT. Recent studies have focused on materials with distinctive properties, including phase-change materials, 17,18 low-symmetry materials, 19 and nonreciprocal materials.…”
