Nonlinear Heat Radiation Induces Thermal Rectifier in Asymmetric Holey Composites
Asymmetric design and nonlinearity are essential to give rise to thermal rectification. In addition to the linear Fourier’s law of thermal conduction, we introduce the nonlinear thermal radiation following Stefan–Boltzmann law to asymmetric holey composites to realize the thermal rectifier. The ther...
