Near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) between rough surfaces, due to its widespread presence in engineering practice of near-field energy utilization, requires indepth studies, especially from the perspective of physical mechanism. In this paper, an effective multilayer model is built to approach the NFRHT between random rough surfaces of silicon carbide (SiC). Using the effective medium theory (EMT), the effective dielectric function of each layer is obtained, which forms a gradient distribution of dielectric function along the depth of the medium. The influence of the effective dielectric function on surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) is analyzed, showing that the effective layers with small filling fraction of SiC feature lower SPhP resonance frequencies than SiC bulk. The coupling of SPhPs from the gradient distribution of dielectric function produces new surface modes that dominates the NFRHT. Investigation on the effect of root mean square height (RMS height, {sigma}) reveals that the peaks of local density of states (LDOS) and spectral heat flux are red-shifted as {sigma} increases, while the spectral heat flux below the peak frequency gets larger. This can be attributed to the coupling of SPhPs inside the rough layer. We also found the total net heat flux between rough surfaces separated by an average distance exceeds that between smooth plates and increases with increasing {sigma}, which offer a new way to enhance NFRHT. This work provides a reference for the simulation and understanding of the NFRHT between rough surfaces.

In this Letter we experimentally demonstrate that the radiative heat transfer between metallic planar surfaces exceeds the blackbody limit by employing the near-field and thin-film effects. Nanosized polystyrene particles were used to create a nanome ter gap between aluminum thin-films of different thicknesses coated on 5x5 mm2 diced silicon chips while the gap spacing is fitted from the near-field measurement with bare Si chips. The experimental results are validated by theoretical calculation based on fluctuational electrodynamics. The near-field radiative heat flux between 13-nm Al thin-film samples at 215 nm gap distance is measured to be 6.4 times over the blackbody limit and 420 times compared to the far-field radiative heat transfer between metallic surfaces with a temperature difference of 65 K. In addition, the theoretical prediction suggests a near-field enhancement of 122 times relative to the blackbody limit and 8000 times over far-field one at 50-nm vacuum gap between 20-nm Al thin-film samples, under the same temperature difference of 65 K. This work will facilitate the understanding and application of near-field radiation to thermal power conversion, noncontact cooling, heat flow management, and optical storage where metallic materials are involved.
Micro-nanoparticle systems have wide applications in thermal science and technology. In dense particulate system, the particle separation distance may be less than the characteristic thermal wavelength and near field effect will be significant and be come a key factor to influence thermal radiation transfer in the system. In this study, radiative heat transfer (RHT) between two metallic nanoparticles clusters are explored using many-body radiative heat transfer theory implemented with the coupled electric and magnetic dipole (CEMD) approach, which effectively takes into account the contribution of magnetic polarization of metallic nanoparticles on heat exchange. As the focus, the effects of magnetic polarization and many-body interaction (MBI) on RHT were analyzed. The effects of fractal dimension and relative orientation of the clusters were also analyzed. Results show that the contribution of magnetically polarized eddy-current Joule dissipation dominates the RHT between Ag nanoparticle clusters. If only electric polarization (EP approach) is considered, the heat conductance will be underestimated as compared with the CEMD approach in both near field and far field regime. The effect of MBI on the RHT between Ag nanoparticle clusters is unobvious at room temperature, which is quite different from the SiC nanoparticle clusters. For the latter, MBI tends to suppress RHT significantly. The relative orientation has remarkable effect on radiative heat flux for clusters with lacy structure when the separation distance is in the near field. While for the separation distance in far field, both the relative orientation and the fractal dimension has a weak influence on radiative heat flux. This work will help the understanding of thermal transport in dense particulate system.

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.
The dynamic heat transfer between two half-spaces separated by a vacuum gap due to coupling of their surface modes is modelled using the theory that describes the dynamic energy transfer between two coupled harmonic oscillators each separately connec ted to a heat bath and with the heat baths maintained at different temperatures. The theory is applied for the case when the two surfaces are made up of a polar crystal which supports surface polaritons that can be excited at room temperature and the predicted heat transfer is compared with the steady state heat transfer value calculated from standard fluctuational electrodynamics theory. It is observed that for small time intervals the value of heat flux can reach as high as 1.5 times that of steady state value.
Extreme near-field heat transfer between metallic surfaces is a subject of debate as the state-of-the-art theory and experiments are in disagreement on the energy carriers driving heat transport. In an effort to elucidate the physics of extreme near- field heat transfer between metallic surfaces, this Letter presents a comprehensive model combining radiation, acoustic phonon and electron transport across sub-10-nm vacuum gaps. The results obtained for gold surfaces show that in the absence of bias voltage, acoustic phonon transport is dominant for vacuum gaps smaller than ~2 nm. The application of a bias voltage significantly affects the dominant energy carriers as it increases the phonon contribution mediated by the long-range Coulomb force and the electron contribution due to a lower potential barrier. For a bias voltage of 0.6 V, acoustic phonon transport becomes dominant at a vacuum gap of 5 nm, whereas electron tunneling dominates at sub-1-nm vacuum gaps. The comparison of the theory against experimental data from the literature suggests that well-controlled measurements between metallic surfaces are needed to quantify the contributions of acoustic phonon and electron as a function of the bias voltage.
