Near-field thermal transistor.
Using a block of three separated solid elements, a thermal source and drain together with a gate made of an insulator-metal transition material exchanging near-field thermal radiation, we introduce a nanoscale analog of a field-effect transistor that is able to control the flow of heat exchanged by evanescent thermal photons between two bodies. By changing the gate temperature around its critic...
متن کاملThermal infrared near-field spectroscopy.
Despite the seminal contributions of Kirchhoff and Planck describing far-field thermal emission, fundamentally distinct spectral characteristics of the electromagnetic thermal near-field have been predicted. However, due to their evanescent nature their direct experimental characterization has remained elusive. Combining scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy with Fourier-transform s...
متن کاملThe near-field scanning thermal microscope.
We report on the design, characterization, and performance of a near-field scanning thermal microscope capable to detect thermal heat currents mediated by evanescent thermal electromagnetic fields close to the surface of a sample. The instrument operates in ultrahigh vacuum and retains its scanning tunneling microscope functionality, so that its miniature, micropipette-based thermocouple sensor...
متن کاملActive thermal extraction of near-field thermal radiation
Radiative heat transport between materials supporting surface-phonon polaritons is greatly enhanced when the materials are placed at subwavelength separation as a result of the contribution of near-field surface modes. However, the enhancement is limited to small separations due to the evanescent decay of the surface waves. In this work, we propose and numerically demonstrate an active scheme t...
متن کاملNear-field thermal transport in a nanotip under laser irradiation.
We report on a systematic study of highly enhanced optical field and its induced thermal transport in nanotips under laser irradiation. The effects on electric field distribution caused by curvature radius, tip aspect ratio, and polarization angle of the incident laser are studied. Our Poynting vectors' study clearly shows that when a laser interacts with a metal tip, it is bent around the tip ...
