In undergraduate courses on classical electromagnetism, it is taught that a perfect conductor
expels the electromagnetic (EM) field, and hence its surface is not able to support the …

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 …

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 …

We demonstrate in this work that the use of metasurfaces provides a viable strategy to
largely tune and enhance near-field radiative heat transfer between extended structures. In …

The emission of thermal radiation is a physical process of fundamental and technological
interest. From different approaches, thermal radiation can be regarded as one of the basic …

Using a self-consistent scattered field approach based on fluctuational electrodynamics, we
develop compact formulas for radiative heat transfer in many-body systems without the …

We calculate the radiative heat transfer between two identical metallic one-dimensional
lamellar gratings. To this aim we present and exploit a modification to the widely used …

Near-field radiative heat transfer has attracted increased attention in recent years for
surpassing the far-field blackbody limit. Recently, it has been developed into three-body …

We describe MESH (M ultilayer E lectromagnetic S olver for H eat transfer), a free software
that combines rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) and scattering matrix formalism to …
