The influence of the optic axis orientation of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on the near-field
radiative heat transfer between hBN slabs as well as between graphene/hBN …

Spectral distributions of radiative heat flux between two thin silicon carbide films separated
by sub-wavelength distances in vacuum are analysed. An analytical expression for the near …

We describe a fluctuating-surface current formulation of radiative heat transfer between
bodies of arbitrary shape that exploits efficient and sophisticated techniques from the surface …

We demonstrate the possibility of achieving enhanced frequency-selective near-field
