Strong thermal effects of phonon polaritons in low-loss boron nitride nanotubes
Deyu LiVanderbilt University – Nashville, Tennessee, USA_______________________________________ Phonon polaritons (PhPs) have attracted extensive attention in the study of light-matter interactions because of their origin as the hybrid modes generated from coupling between infrared photons and optically active phonons. In terms of energy transport, while the contribution of surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) to near-field radiation has…
