A spectrally selective thermally emitting device is proposed which takes advantage of near-field surface phonon polariton modes. Surface phonon polariton modes are usually restricted to the emitter surface and do not participate in energy exchange. In this work, the possibility of obtaining desirable spectral properties by using a thin-film surface active material, layered between dielectrics, is explored. This same multilayered structure is proposed to couple the surface modes into radiative modes that can participate in energy transport. This multilayer device is studied in this paper by developing the surface phonon mode dispersion relation to identify the spectral location of the surface modes. The fluctuation-dissipation theorem and impedance boundary condition is used to theoretically describe the near-field spectral radiative properties of the multilayer geometry. The near-field radiative properties show near monochromatic spectral characteristics due to the domination of surface phonon polariton modes.

In this work, we present a new formula for the near-field thermal radiative transfer between two spheres. The formula is identical for coated or uncoated spheres and captures the effect of the coatings in the effective Mie reflection coefficients of the spheres. We also numerically demonstrate that silica coated silver spheres transition from silver-like conductance in the far-field to surface phonon polariton dominated silica-like behavior in the extreme near-field.

AbstractWe consider the inverse scattering problem of determining the shape of a crack with impedance boundary condition on one side from the complex conjugate of point sources placed on a closed curve which contains the crack. The near field factorization method is established to reconstruct the crack from the measurements on the same curve. Then, we deduce an inversion algorithm and present some numerical examples to show the viability of our method. So far as we know, when the incident waves are the point sources, the near field operator cannot be directly decomposed into the form that the factorization method required. However, we overcome this difficulty with the complex conjugate of point sources which are recently used in [Inverse Problems 30 (2014), Article ID 095005], [Inverse Problems 30 (2014), Article ID 045008] for the justification of the factorization method from near field data.

A Green function approach is used with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem to develop a qualitative theoretical model of radiation heat transfer across an evacuated microscale spherical geometry bounded by silicon carbide. The appropriate scalar Green function is presented by employing an impedance boundary condition to describe the electromagnetic spherical interface condition and thus capture the surface modes. This work shows that the spherical boundary can result in spectral conditions for surface mode excitation that depend not only on the dielectric function, but on the sphere radius as well. The surface modes are shown to enhance the radiation significantly and are attributed to surface phonon polariton modes excited at the interface, and surface modes excited by the mechanism of total internal reflection.

We studied the electromagnetic local density of state (EM-LDOS) near the surface of a one-dimensional multilayer structure (1DMS) alternately stacked by SiC and Si. EM-LDOS of a semi-infinite bulk appears two intrinsic peaks due to the resonance of surface phonon-polariton (SPhP) in SiC. In contrast with that of SiC bulk, SPhP can exist at the interface of SiC and Si for the 1DMS. The SPhPs from different interfaces can couple together, which can lead to a significant modulation of EM-LDOS. When the component widths of 1DMS are large, the spectrum of EM-LDOS exhibits oscillation behavior in the frequency regime larger than the resonance frequency of SPhP. While the component widths are small, due to the strong coupling of SPhPs, another peak appears in the EM-LDOS spectrum besides the two intrinsic ones. And the position of the new peak move toward high frequency when the width ratio of SiC and Si increases. The influences of distance from the surfaces and period of 1DMS on EM-LDOS have also been studied in detail. The results are helpful in studying the near-field radiative heat transfer and spontaneous emission.

We consider the acoustic scattering problem from a crack which has Dirichlet boundary condition on one side and impedance boundary condition on the other side. The inverse scattering problem in this paper tries to determine the shape of the crack and the surface impedance coefficient from the near-field measurements of the scattered waves, while the source point is placed on a closed curve. We firstly establish a near-field operator and focus on the operator’s mathematical analysis. Secondly, we obtain a uniqueness theorem for the shape and surface impedance. Finally, by using the operator’s properties and modified linear sampling method, we reconstruct the shape and surface impedance.

A Green function approach is used with the uctuation-dissipation theorem to theoretically model radiative heat transfer in microscale cylindrical geometries. The appropriate scalar Green function is presented by employing an impedance boundary condition. While z-independent elds are produced by axial line sources, it is proposed here that the qualitative results are applicable to thermal radiation within microscale spherical domains. An application of the theoretical result demonstrates the potential importance of surface phonon polariton modes in thermal radiation transport across porous surface-active ceramics.
