The unprecedented ability of nanometallic (that is, plasmonic) structures to concentrate light
into deep-subwavelength volumes has propelled their use in a vast array of nanophotonics …

This article reviews the recent advances in near-field radiative energy transfer, particularly in
its fundamentals and applications. When the geometrical features of radiating objects or …

Optical antennas are a critical component in nanophotonics research and have been used
to enhance nonlinear, and Raman cross-sections and to make nanoscale optical probes. In …

Radiative heat transfer (RHT) has a central role in entropy generation and energy transfer at
length scales ranging from nanometres to light years. The blackbody limit, as established in …

Ionic transport greatly influences the switching kinetics of filamentary resistive switching
memories and depends strongly on temperature and electric fields. To separate the impact …

The heat radiated by objects smaller than or comparable in size to the thermal wavelength
can be very different from the classical blackbody radiation as described by the Planck and …

Coherent thermal emission deviates from the Planckian blackbody emission with a narrow
spectrum and strong directionality. While far-field thermal emission from polaritonic …

Radiative heat transfer at the nanoscale has the potential to produce thermal emission with
both spectral feature and intensity different from the bulk materials. Specifically, the idea of …

We present characterization results of microscopic platinum wires as bolometers. The wire
lengths range from 16 μm down to 300 nm. Thus they are in many cases significantly smaller …

Absorption of visible and infrared radiation by gratings due to the resonant excitation of
surface waves is a well-known phenomenon. In this paper, we study the resonant absorption …
