We show that a perfect absorber/thermal emitter exhibiting an absorption peak of 99.9% can
be achieved in metallic nanostructures that can be easily fabricated. The very high …

We report a quantitative model of a near-field thermophotovoltaic (TPV) device consisting in
a thermal source located in the near field of a TPV cell. The enhanced radiative transfer at …

High emissivity coatings are widely used in many cases where heat transfers through
electromagnetic radiation that arises due to the temperature of a body. Extensive theoretical …

A classical simulation of equilibrium thermal emissivity from dispersive, lossy photonic
crystals is presented. Normal emission results consistent with those assuming Kirchoff's law …
