Directional heat transport through thermal reflection meta-device

Directional heat transfer may be hard to realize due to the fact that heat transfer is diffusive. In this paper, we try to take one step forward based on the transformation thermodynamics. A special structure and meta-device is proposed to “reflect” the heat flow directionally–just like the mirror t...
