Near-field radiative heat transfer between dielectric-based metamaterials separated by a sub-wavelength vacuum gap is analyzed. Metamaterials made of silicon carbide spherical inclusions within a dielectric host medium of potassium bromide are considered. We show for the first time that surface polariton mediated near-field radiative heat transfer in both TE and TM polarizations may occur between dielectric-based structures. The results presented in this work also demonstrate that it is possible to engineer materials with designer radiative properties, which is crucial in many emerging energy conversion technologies.

Hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM) alternately stacked by graphene and silicon carbide (SiC) is proposed to theoretically study near-field radiative heat transfer. Heat transfer coefficients (HTCs) are calculated using the effective medium theory (EMT). We observe that HMMs can exhibit better heat transfer characteristic than graphene-covered SiC bulks when appropriate SiC thickness and chemical potentials of graphene are selected. Transfer matrix method (TMM) is also employed to calculate HTC between HMMs with thicker SiC, given the invalidity of EMT in this case. We deduce that with increasing SiC thickness, HTC first increases rapidly and then decreases slowly when it reaches maximum value. HTC is high for graphene with small chemical potential. Results may benefit applications of thermophotovoltaic devices.
