Heat transfer between two surfaces separated by a nanometre gap is important for a number
of applications ranging from spaced head disk systems, scanning thermal microscopy and …

When the separation of two surfaces approaches sub-nanometre scale, the boundary
between the two most fundamental heat transfer modes, heat conduction by phonons and …

With increasing interest in nanotechnology, the question arises of how heat is exchanged
between materials separated by only a few nanometers of vacuum. Here, we present …

Despite its strong potentials in emerging energy applications, near-field thermal radiation
between large planar structures has not been fully explored in experiments. Particularly, it is …

Near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) arises between objects separated by nanoscale
gaps and leads to dramatic enhancements in heat transfer rates compared to the far-field …

Heat transfer between bodies separated by nanoscale vacuum gap distances has been
extensively studied for potential applications in thermal management [1, 2], energy …

When two solids are separated by a vacuum gap of thickness smaller than the wavelength of
acoustic phonons, the latter can tunnel across the gap thanks to van der Waals forces or …

We study the interplay of conductive and radiative heat transfer (RHT) in planar geometries
and predict that temperature gradients induced by radiation can play a significant role on the …

A wide range of modern technological devices utilize materials structured at the nanoscale
to improve performance. The efficiencies of many of these devices depend on their thermal …
