The demand for sophisticated tools and approaches in heat management and control has
triggered the fast development of fields that include conductive thermal metamaterials …

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 …

Classical thermodynamics often helps to passively describe macroscopic heat phenomena
of natural systems, which means people almost cannot change the heat phenomena, but …

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 seventh edition of this classic text outlines the fundamental physical principles of
thermal radiation, as well as analytical and numerical techniques for quantifying radiative …

Control of heat flow is critical for thermal logic devices and thermal management and has
been explored theoretically. However, experimental progress on active control of heat flow …

In this work we demonstrate thermal rectification at the nanoscale between doped Si and
VO2 surfaces. Specifically, we show that the metal–insulator transition of VO2 makes it …

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 …

Thermal radiative emission from a hot surface to a cold surface plays an important role in
many applications, including energy conversion, thermal management, lithography, data …
