The macroscopic control of ubiquitous heat flow remains poorly explored due to the lack of a fundamental theoretical method. Here, by establishing temperature-dependent transformation thermotics for treating materials whose conductivity depends on temperature, we show analytical and simulation evidence for switchable thermal cloaking and a macroscopic thermal diode based on the cloaking. The latter allows heat flow in one direction but prohibits the flow in the opposite direction, which is also confirmed by our experiments. Our results suggest that the temperature-dependent transformation thermotics could be a fundamental theoretical method for achieving macroscopic heat rectification, and provide guidance both for macroscopic control of heat flow and for the design of the counterparts of switchable thermal cloaks or macroscopic thermal diodes in other fields like seismology, acoustics, electromagnetics, or matter waves.

We study in this article how heat can be exchanged between two level systems (TLS) each of them being coupled to a thermal reservoir. Calculation are performed solving a master equation for the density matrix using the Born markov-approximation. We a
nalyse the conditions for which a thermal diode and a thermal transistor can be obtained as well as their optimization.
Thermal effects contributing to the Casimir interaction between objects are usually small at room temperature and they are difficult to separate from quantum mechanical contributions at higher temperatures. We propose that the thermal Casimir force e
ffect can be observed for a graphene flake suspended in a fluid between substrates at the room temperature regime. The properly chosen materials for the substrates and fluid induce a Casimir repulsion. The balance with the other forces, such as gravity and buoyancy, results in a stable temperature dependent equilibrium separation. The suspended graphene is a promising system due to its potential for observing thermal Casimir effects at room temperature.
Steering waves in elastic solids is more demanding than steering waves in electromagnetism or acoustics. As a result, designing material distributions which are the counterpart of optical invisibility cloaks in elasticity poses a major challenge. Wav
es of all polarizations should be guided around an obstacle to emerge on the downstream side as though no obstacle were there. Recently, we have introduced the direct-lattice-transformation approach. This simple and explicit construction procedure led to extremely good cloaking results in the static case. Here, we transfer this approach to the dynamic case, i.e., to elastic waves or phonons. We demonstrate broadband reduction of scattering, with best suppressions exceeding a factor of five when using cubic coordinate transformations instead of linear ones. To reliably and quantitatively test these cloaks efficiency, we use an effective-medium approach.
We aim to illuminate how the microscopic properties of a metal surface map to its electric-field noise characteristics. In our system, prolonged heat treatments of a metal film can induce a rise in the magnitude of the electric-field noise generated
by the surface of that film. We refer to this heat-induced rise in noise magnitude as a thermal transformation. The underlying physics of this thermal transformation process is explored through a series of heating, milling, and electron treatments performed on a single surface ion trap. Between these treatments, $^{40}$Ca$^+$ ions trapped 70 $mu$m above the surface of the metal are used as detectors to monitor the electric-field noise at frequencies close to 1 MHz. An Auger spectrometer is used to track changes in the composition of the contaminated metal surface. With these tools we investigate contaminant deposition, chemical reactions, and atomic restructuring as possible drivers of thermal transformations. The data suggest that the observed thermal transformations can be explained by atomic restructuring at the trap surface. We hypothesize that a rise in local atomic order increases surface electric-field noise in this system.
We use reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (RNEMD) simulations to determine the thermal conductivity in $alpha$-RDX in the <100>, <010>, and <001> crystallographic directions. Simulations are carried out with the Smith-Bharadwaj non-reactive e
mpirical interatomic potential [Smith & Bharadwaj, J. Phys. Chem. B 103, 3570(1999)], which represents the thermo-elastic properties of RDX with good accuracy. As an illustration, we report the temperature and pressure dependence of lattice constants of $alpha$-RDX, which compare well with experimental and ab initio results, as do linear and volume thermal expansion coefficients, which we also calculate. We find that the thermal conductivity depends linearly on the inverse temperature in the 200-400K regime due to the decrease in the phonon mean free path. The thermal conductivity also exhibits anisotropy, with a maximum difference at 300K of 24% between the <001> and <010> directions, an effect that remains when temperature increases. Thermal conductivity in the <100> direction is mostly between the two other directions, although crossovers are predicted with <001> at high temperature, and <010> at low temperature under pressure. We observe that the thermal conductivity varies linearly with pressure up to 4 GPa. The data are fitted to analytical functions for interpolation/extrapolation and use in continuum simulations. MD results are validated against experiments using impulsive stimulated thermal scattering (ISTS) on RDX single crystals at 293K and ambient pressure, showing good qualitative and quantitative agreement: same ordering between the three principal orientations, and an average error of 10% between the experiments and the model. These results provide confidence that the extracted analytical functions using the RNEMD methodology and the Smith-Bharadwaj potential can be applied to model the thermal conductivity of $alpha$-RDX.
