研究目的
Investigating the asymmetric radiative heat transfer between nanoparticles assisted by nonreciprocal graphene plasmon waveguides to achieve thermal rectification.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that a radiative thermal diode based on nonreciprocal graphene plasmon waveguides can achieve high rectification coefficients, approaching 1 under optimal conditions. This technology offers a promising approach for thermal management at the nanoscale, with potential applications in electronics cooling and energy-conversion systems.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and relies on numerical simulations. Practical implementation may face challenges in controlling drift currents and maintaining the proximity between nanoparticles and the graphene sheet.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study proposes a thermal diode system consisting of two nanoparticles and a drift-biased suspended graphene sheet. Nonreciprocal graphene plasmons are induced by drift currents in the graphene sheet, coupling to waves emitted by the particles in the near-field regime.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Two nanoparticles made of silicon carbide (SiC) are used as terminals for the thermal diode. The graphene sheet's conductivity is modeled by the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) approach.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The system includes a suspended graphene sheet, nanoparticles, and a voltage generator to induce drift currents.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The heat flux between the nanoparticles is calculated using fluctuational electrodynamics (FE), considering the Green's function (GF) of the system.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the thermal diode is evaluated based on the rectification coefficient, which is derived from the forward and backward heat fluxes.
