Radiation: Applications

The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Main Results:

The hyperbolic metamaterial enabled selective heating of the nanowire by precisely controlling the angular mode number of the plasmonic resonance.
A nanowire emitter within the HMM appeared dark to radiation from an adjacent emitter unless specific wavelength and angular mode conditions were met.
Demonstrated the ability to switch radiative coupling on and off by manipulating resonance matching.

Conclusions:

Annular hyperbolic metamaterials offer a novel approach for highly selective near-field radiative heat transfer.
The findings pave the way for advanced thermal management solutions and nanoscale optical devices.
Precise control over plasmonic resonance is key to achieving targeted energy transfer in nanophotonic systems.
