We demonstrate that a thermal transistor can be made up with a quantum system of three
interacting subsystems, coupled to a thermal reservoir each. This thermal transistor is …

With the rapid development of micro/nanoscaled technologies, we are confronted with more
and more challenges related to small-scale thermal radiation. Thorough understanding and …

Vanadium dioxide (VO 2) exhibits a phase-change behavior from the insulating state to the
metallic state around 340 K. By using this effect, we experimentally demonstrate a radiative …

The control of heat flow is a formidable challenge due to lack of good thermal insulators.
Promising new opportunities for heat flow control were recently theoretically discovered for …

Nowadays, the requirement for achieving dynamic radiative cooling is more and more
intense, so a cooling system is proposed and developed to meet the demand in this paper …

Owing to its two-dimensional electronic structure, graphene exhibits many unique
properties. One of them is a wave vector and temperature dependent plasmon in the infrared …

By means of fluctuational electrodynamics, we calculate radiative heat flux between two
planar materials respectively made of SiC and SiO_2. More specifically, we focus on a first …

A quantum thermal transistor is designed by the strong coupling between one qubit and one
qutrit which are in contact with three heat baths with different temperatures. The thermal …

We show in this article that phase change materials (PCM) exhibiting a phase transition
between a dielectric state and a metallic state are good candidates to perform modulation as …

We demonstrate that two interacting spinlike systems characterized by different excitation
frequencies and coupled to a thermal bath each, can be used as a quantum thermal diode …
