Achieving thermal magnification by using effective thermal conductivity

ABSTRACT: A thermal magnification device is proposed by using effective thermal conductivity. Different from transformation optics method, the magnification design is realized analytically by enforcing equality of effective thermal conductivity on the magnification device and the reference case in s...
