“Surface Phonon-Polaritons as Efficient Heat Carriers”
Recent studies showed that surface phonon-polaritons, i.e. evanescent electromagnetic waves propagating along the surface of polar dielectric materials [1] [2], may potentially serve as novel heat carriers to enhance the thermal performance in micro- and nanoscale devices. This seminar will expose the significant contribution of these carriers to thermal conductivity in ultra-thin (<100nm) films [3], but also to radiation, yielding SuperPlanckian emission and absorption between surfaces of larger scales (10mm).
