We examine the non-equilibrium radiative heat transfer between a plate and finite cylinders and cones, making the first accurate theoretical predictions for the total heat transfer and the spatial heat flux profile for three-dimensional compact objects including corners or tips. We find qualitatively different scaling laws for conical shapes at small separations, and in contrast to a flat/slightly-curved object, a sharp cone exhibits a local emph{minimum} in the spatially resolved heat flux directly below the tip. The method we develop, in which a scattering-theory formulation of thermal transfer is combined with a boundary-element method for computing scattering matrices, can be applied to three-dimensional objects of arbitrary shape.

We explore in the present work the near-field radiative heat transfer between two semi-infinite parallel nonlocal dielectric planes by means of fluctuational electrodynamics. We use atheory for the nonlocal dielectric permittivityfunction proposed by
Halevi and Fuchs. This theory has the advantage to includedifferent models performed in the literature. According to this theory, the nonlocal dielectric function is described by a Lorenz-Drude like single oscillator model, in which the spatial dispersion effects are represented by an additional term depending on the square of the total wavevector k. The theory takes into account the scattering of the electromagneticexcitation at the surface of the dielectric material, which leads to the need of additional boundary conditions in order to solve Maxwells equations and treat the electromagnetic transmission problem. The additional boundary conditions appear as additional surface scattering parameters in the expressions of the surface impedances. It is shown that the nonlocal modeling deviates from the classical $1/d^2$ law in the nanometerrangeat distances still larger than the ones where quantum effects are expected to come into play.
We study the interplay of conductive and radiative heat transfer (RHT) in planar geometries and predict that temperature gradients induced by radiation can play a significant role on the behavior of RHT with respect to gap sizes, depending largely on
geometric and material parameters and not so crucially on operating temperatures. Our findings exploit rigorous calculations based on a closed-form expression for the heat flux between two plates separated by vacuum gaps $d$ and subject to arbitrary temperature profiles, along with an approximate but accurate analytical treatment of coupled conduction--radiation in this geometry. We find that these effects can be prominent in typical materials (e.g. silica and sapphire) at separations of tens of nanometers, and can play an even larger role in metal oxides, which exhibit moderate conductivities and enhanced radiative properties. Broadly speaking, these predictions suggest that the impact of RHT on thermal conduction, and vice versa, could manifest itself as a limit on the possible magnitude of RHT at the nanoscale, which asymptotes to a constant (the conductive transfer rate when the gap is closed) instead of diverging at short separations.
Near-field radiative heat transfer between bodies at the nanoscale can surpass blackbody limits on thermal radiation by orders of magnitude due to contributions from evanescent electromagnetic fields, which carry no energy to the far-field. Thus far,
principles guiding explorations of larger heat transfer beyond planar structures have assumed utility in surface nanostructuring, which can enhance the density of states, and further assumed that such design paradigms can approach Landauer limits, in analogy to conduction. We derive fundamental shape-independent limits to radiative heat transfer, applicable in near- through far-field regimes, that incorporate material and geometric constraints such as intrinsic dissipation and finite object sizes, and show that these preclude reaching the Landauer limits in all but a few restrictive scenarios. Additionally, we show that the interplay of material response and electromagnetic scattering among proximate bodies means that bodies which maximize radiative heat transfer actually maximize scattering rather than absorption. Finally, we compare our new bounds to existing Landauer limits, as well as limits involving bodies maximizing far-field absorption, and show that these lead to overly optimistic predictions. Our results have ramifications for the ultimate performance of thermophotovoltaics and nanoscale cooling, as well as related incandescent and luminescent devices.
We present a general and convenient first principle method to study near-field radiative heat transfer. We show that the Landauer-like expression of heat flux can be expressed in terms of a frequency and wave-vector dependent macroscopic dielectric f
unction which can be obtained from the linear response density functional theory. A random phase approximation is used to calculate the response function. We computed the heat transfer in three systems -- graphene, molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$), and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). Our results show that the near-field heat flux exceeds the blackbody limit up to four orders of magnitude. With the increase of the distances between two parallel sheets, a $1/d^2$ dependence of heat flux is shown, consistent with Coulombs law. The heat transfer capacity is sensitive to the dielectric properties of materials. Influences from chemical potential and temperature are also discussed. Our method can be applied to a wide range of materials including systems with inhomogeneities.
We study a one-dimensional model of radiative heat transfer for which the effect of the electromag- netic field is only from the scalar potential and thereby ignoring the vector potential contribution. This is a valid assumption when the distances be
tween objects are of the order of nanometers. Using Lorenz gauge, the scalar field is quantized with the canonical quantization scheme, giving rise to scalar photons. In the limit as the speed of light approaches infinity, the theory reduces to a pure Coulomb interaction governed by the Poisson equation. The model describes very well parallel plate capacitor physics, where a new length scale related to its capacitance emerges. Shorter than this length scale we see greater radiative heat transfer. This differs markedly from the usual Rytov fluctuational electrodynamics theory in which the enhancement is due to evanescent modes shorter than the thermal wavelengths. Our theory may explain recent experiments where charge fluctuations instead of current fluctuations play a dominant role in radiative heat transfer. Finally, due to the asymmetric electron-bath couplings, thermal rectification effects are also observed and reported.
