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 …

Interactions between light and matter play an instrumental role in spectroscopy, sensing,
quantum information processing and lasers. In most of these applications, light is considered …

Bombardment of materials by high-energy particles often leads to light emission in a process
known as scintillation. Scintillation has widespread applications in medical imaging, x-ray …

Photonic devices play an increasingly important role in advancing physics and engineering.
Although improvements in nanofabrication and computational methods have driven …

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 …

As the size of materials, particles, and devices shrinks to nanometer, atomic, or even
quantum scale, it is more challenging to characterize their thermal properties reliably …

Right after the first edition was published in 2007, I was invited to give seminars at a number
of universities in several countries. At that time, many people considered nanotechnology …

Near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) governed by evanescent waves, provides a
platform to thoroughly understand the transport behavior of nonradiative photons, and also …

Although near-field radiative heat transfer was introduced in the 1950s, interest in the field
has only recently revived, as the effect promises improved performance in various …

Deep learning is having a tremendous impact in many areas of computer science and
engineering. Motivated by this success, deep neural networks are attracting increasing …
