Control of near-field radiative heat transfer via surface phonon-polariton coupling in thin films
(Springer Business+Media, 2011-06)
The possibility of controlling near-field radiative heat transfer with the use of silicon carbide thin films supporting surface phonon–polaritons in the infrared spectrum is explored. For this purpose, the local density ...
Localized radiative energy transfer from a plasmonic bow-tie nano-antenna to a magnetic thin film stack
(Springer Business+Media, 2011-06)
Localized radiative energy transfer from a near-field emitter to a magnetic thin film structure is investigated. A magnetic thin film stack is placed in the near-field of the plasmonic nano-antenna to utilize the evanescent ...
Thermal impacts on the performance of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic power generators
(IEEE, 2011-06)
The thermal impacts on the performance of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic (nano-TPV) power generators are investigated using a coupled near-field thermal radiation, charge, and heat transport formulation. A nano-TPV device ...
Engineering with and for light absorption and scattering: a quarter century of experimental research at RTL
(Accademia Peloritana dei Pericolanti, 2011)
Characterization of particles requires detailed understanding of light interaction with homogeneous/inhomogeneous and regular/irregular shaped particles, or fractallike structures, within optically thin or thick media. ...
Discrete dipole approximation of gold nanospheres on substrates: considerations and comparison with other discretization methods
(AAPP Physical, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences, 2011)
We embark on this preliminary study of the suitability of the discrete dipole approximation with surface interaction (DDA-SI) method to model electric field scattering from noble metal nano-structures on dielectric substrates. ...
Discrete-dipole approximation with surface interaction: computational toolbox for MATLAB
(Elsevier, 2011-07)
We describe a MATLAB toolbox that utilizes the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) method for modelling light interaction with arbitrarily-shape scatterers in free space as well with planar surface interaction (DDA-SI). ...
Radiative transfer configuration factor catalog: a listing of relations for common geometries
(Elsevier, 2011-03)
An on-line compilation of radiation configuration factors for over 300 common geometries is provided as a supplementary material from the JQSRT web site at doi:10.1016/j.jqsrt.2010.10.002. The factors are gathered from ...
Estimating quantitative features of nanoparticles using multiple derivatives of scattering profiles
(Elsevier, 2011-05)
Characterization of nanoparticles on surfaces is a challenging in verse problem whose solution has many practical applications. This article proposes a method, suitable for in situ characterization systems, for estimating ...
Coexistence of multiple regimes for near-field thermal radiation between two layers supporting surface phonon polaritons in the infrared
(American Physical Society, 2011)
We demonstrate the coexistence of different near-field thermal radiation regimes between two layers supporting surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) in the infrared. These regimes existwhen the distance of separation between ...
