Thermal cloaking, as an ultimate thermal “illusion” phenomenon, is the result of advanced heat manipulation with thermal metamaterials—heat can be guided around a hidden object smoothly without…
Thermal rectification reversal in carbon nanotubes
- Physics
- 2012
In principle, rectifying phonon and electron flows appear similar, whereby more energy is transported in one direction than the opposite one. However, their physical mechanisms are inherently…
Reversal of Thermal Rectification in Quantum Systems
- Physics
- 2009
We study thermal transport in anisotropic Heisenberg spin chains using the quantum master equation. It is found that thermal rectification changes sign when the external homogeneous magnetic field is…
Surface plasmon-enhanced near-field thermal rectification in graphene-based structures
- PhysicsJournal of Applied Physics
- 2018
We propose a thermal rectification structure composed of InSb and graphene-coated 3C-SiC separated by a nanoscale vacuum gap. To obtain an obvious thermal rectification effect, the permittivities o...
Experimental study of thermal rectification in suspended monolayer graphene
