Multiple magnetoplasmon polaritons of magneto-optical graphene in near-field radiative heat transfer (2306.13860v1)

Abstract: Graphene, as a two-dimensional magneto-optical material, supports magnetoplasmon polaritons (MPP) when exposed to an applied magnetic field. Recently, MPP of a single-layer graphene has shown an excellent capability in the modulation of near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT). In this study, we present a comprehensive theoretical analysis of NFRHT between two multilayered graphene structures, with a particular focus on the multiple MPP effect. We reveal the physical mechanism and evolution law of the multiple MPP, and we demonstrate that the multiple MPP allow one to mediate, enhance, and tune the NFRHT by appropriately engineering the properties of graphene, the number of graphene sheets, the intensity of magnetic fields, as well as the geometric structure of systems. We show that the multiple MPP have a quite significant distinction relative to the single MPP or multiple surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in terms of modulating and manipulating NFRHT.
