Controlling Near- and Far-field Thermal Radiation with hBN Nanophotonics
Bo ZhaoUniversity of Houston – Houston, Texas, USA_______________________________________ Originated from random fluctuations, thermal radiation is typically incoherent, and its intensity is subject to the blackbody limit. Improving the coherence and intensity of thermal radiation is of great importance to photon-mediated energy and thermal systems. As a photonic material with hyperbolic isofrequency surfaces, hBN allows for…
