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 ...
A unified Monte Carlo treatment of the transport of electromagnetic energy, electrons, and phonons in absorbing and scattering media
(Elsevier, 2010-02)
The scalar Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) is often applicable to radiative energy transfer, electron–beam propagation, as well as thermal conduction by electrons and phonons provided that the characteristic length of ...
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 ...
Heat transfer enhancement with actuation of magnetic nanoparticles suspended in a base fluid
(AIP, 2012)
In this study, we have experimentally demonstrated that heat transfer can be substantially increased by actuating magnetic nanoparticles inside a nanofluid. In order to materialize this, we have utilized a miniature heat ...
Coupling of near-field thermal radiative heating and phonon Monte Carlo simulation: Assessment of temperature gradient in n-doped silicon thin film
(Elsevier, 2014-08)
Near-field thermal radiative exchange between two objects is typically more effective than the far-field thermal radiative exchange as the heat flux can increase up to several orders higher in magnitudes due to tunneling ...
Analysis of near-field radiation transfer within nano-gaps using FDTD method
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
Enhancement of near-field radiative emission via coupling of surface plasmons in nano-gaps formed between thin films is important for understanding and implementation of energy harvesting using nano-thermophotovoltaic ...
Polarization imaging of multiply-scattered radiation based on integral-vector Monte Carlo method
(Elsevier, 2010-01)
A new integral-vector Monte Carlo method (IVMCM) is developed to analyze the transfer of polarized radiation in 3D multiple scattering particle-laden media. The method is based on a “successive order of scattering series” ...
Near-field thermal radiation transfer by mesoporous metamaterials
(The Optical Society, 2015-09-21)
In this work, we investigate the impact of nano-scale pores within structured metamaterials on spectral near-field radiative transfer. We use Finite Difference Time Domain Method (FDTD) and consider uniform and corrugated ...
Silver patterning using an atomic force microscope tip and laser-induced chemical deposition from liquids
(AIP Publishing, 2012)
This article presents a new direct patterning technique in which laser photoreduction of silver from a liquid is controlled by a scanning atomic force microscope tip. Contrary to expectations, the tip suppresses, rather ...
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. ...
