  5. Heat radiation at the nanoscale : Introduction 0 d Casimir and heat transfer at the nanoscale: Similarities and differences Fluctuational fields are responsible for heat transfer and forces between two parallel plates. Key difference: 1. no heat flux contribution for isothermal systems. 2. Spectral range: Casimir : visible frequencies. Heat transfer : IR frequencies.

  15. Modelling Thermal Radiation The fluctuational electrodynamics approach Rytov, Kravtsov, Tatarskii, Principles of radiophysics, Springer

  16. The fluctuational electrodynamics approach T • The medium is assumed to be at local thermodynamic equilibrium volume element = random electric dipole 2) Radiation of random currents = thermal radiation

  17. The fluctuational electrodynamics approach 3) Spatial correlation (cross-spectral density) 4) The current-density correlation function is given by the FD theorem Fluctuation Absorption

  22. Basic concepts of near field What is so special about near field ?

  23. Basic concepts of near field Back to basics : dipole radiation 1/r2 and 1/r3 terms Near field 1/r terms Radiation Near field: k0r<<1, k0=2

  24. Evanescent waves filtering

  25. Basic concepts of near field: evanescent waves Take home message: large k are confined to distances 1/k.

  26. Evanescent waves filtering

  27. Energy density: in vacuum, close to nanoparticle, close to a surface

  28. Black body radiation in vacuum

  29. Black body radiation close to a nanoparticle Questions to be answered : Is the field orders of magnitude larger close to particles ? If yes, why ? Is the thermal field quasi monochromatic ? If yes, why ?

  30. Black body radiation close to a nanoparticle

  31. Black body radiation close to a nanoparticle • The particle is a random dipole. • The field diverges close to the particle: electrostatic field ! • The field may have a resonance, plasmon resonance. Where are these (virtual) modes coming from ?

  32. + - + - + - + - - - + - Polaritons Strong coupling between material modes and photons produces polaritons: Half a photon and half a phonon/exciton/electron. +

  33. Where are the modes coming from ? Estimation of the number of electromagnetic modes in vacuum: Estimation of the number of vibrational modes (phonons): The electromagnetic field inherits the DOS of matter degrees of freedom

  34. Can we define a (larger and local) density of states close to a particle or a surface ?

  41. Physical mechanism The density of energy is the product of - the density of states, - the energy hn - the Bose Einstein distribution. The density of states can diverge due to the presence of surface waves : Surface phonon-polaritons.
