Over the past decade, solid‐state thermal control devices have emerged as potential
candidates for enhanced thermal management and storage. They distinguish themselves …

Interest in new thermal diodes, regulators, and switches has been rapidly growing because
these components have the potential for rich transport phenomena that cannot be achieved …

The past two decades have witnessed the emergence and rapid growth of the research field
of nanoscale thermal transport. Much of the work in this field has been fundamental studies …

The macroscopic control of ubiquitous heat flow remains poorly explored due to the lack of a
fundamental theoretical method. Here, by establishing temperature-dependent …

Organic material-based thermal switch is drawing much attention as one of the key thermal
management devices in organic electronic devices. This study aims at tuning the switching …

Vanadium dioxide (VO 2) exhibits a phase-change behavior from the insulating state to the
metallic state around 340 K. By using this effect, we experimentally demonstrate a radiative …

We theoretically demonstrate workings of a near-field thermal rectification device that uses a
phase change material to achieve asymmetry in radiative heat transfer. We exploit the …

Based on Bruggeman's symmetric effective-medium formula and an explicit expression
derived for the temperature evolution of the volume fractions of the metallic and isolating …

Analogous to the electronic diode, a thermal diode transports heat mainly in one preferential
direction rather than in the opposite direction. Phase change thermal diodes usually rectify …

We investigate heat rectification in a two-qubit system coupled via the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya
(DM) interaction. We derive analytical expressions for heat currents and thermal rectification …
