Radiative thermal diode driven by non-reciprocal surface waves (1903.10751v1)
Published 26 Mar 2019 in cond-mat.mes-hall
Abstract: We demonstrate the possibility to rectify the nanoscale radiative heat flux between two nanoparticles by coupling them with the nonreciprocal surface modes of a magneto-optical substrate in a Voigt configuration. When the non-reciprocal medium supports a surface wave in the spectral window where heat exchanges take place the rectification coefficient can reach large values opening so the way to the design of true thermal diodes.
