SUMMARY:Radiative heat transfer in the optical near-field: new opportunitie
 s for energy generation and heat flow control - Raphael St-Gelais (Cornell
  Nanophot
DESCRIPTION:Raphael St-Gelais (Cornell Nanophotonics Group)Radiative heat t
 ransfer between objects separated by subwavelength distances offers unprec
 edented opportunities for energy generation and heat flow control applicat
 ions. In the optical near-field\, heat transfer can occur through evanesce
 nt coupling of thermally excited infrared surface resonances (i.e.\, plasm
 onic or phononic surface resonances). This heat transport mechanism can ov
 ercome the classical far-field radiation limit (i.e.\, Stefan-Boltzmann la
 w) by several orders of magnitude\, while occurring over a quasi-monochrom
 atic frequency range. These unique characteristics could enable new exciti
 ng applications\, such as near-field thermophotovolatic energy generation\
 , or active heat flow control devices such as thermal rectifiers and therm
 al transistors. I will review these prospective applications and present o
 ur recent work [1]\, in which we achieved the first experimental demonstra
 tion of near-field radiative heat transfer between integrated nanostructur
 es.     [1] Demonstration of Strong Near-Field Radiative Heat Transfer bet
