efficient harvesting of light at the nanoscale, enhancing light–matter interactions for a wide …

Many-body physics aims to understand emergent properties of systems made of many
interacting objects. This review examines recent progress on the topic of radiative heat …

Thermophotovoltaic approaches that take advantage of near-field evanescent modes are
being actively explored due to their potential for high-power density and high-efficiency …

Controlling emission and absorption, and radiative heat transfer, is important for photonic
energy conversion and thermal management. However, the reciprocal emission and …

Thermal radiation is one of the most universal physical phenomena, and its study has
played a key role in the history of modern physics. Our understanding of this subject has …

The coupled interactions among the fundamental carriers of charge, heat, and
electromagnetic fields at interfaces and boundaries give rise to energetic processes that …

Right after the first edition was published in 2007, I was invited to give seminars at a number
of universities in several countries. At that time, many people considered nanotechnology …

Photonic cooling of matter has enabled both access to unexplored states of matter, such as
Bose–Einstein condensates, and novel approaches to solid-state refrigeration,–. Critical to …

Recently, several reports have experimentally shown near-field radiative heat transfer
(NFRHT) exceeding the far-field blackbody limit between planar surfaces,,,–. However …

Collective optoelectronic phenomena such as plasmons and phonon polaritons can drive
processes in many branches of nanoscale science. Classical physics predicts that a perfect …
