Near-field radiative energy transfer at nanometer distances

Near-field thermal radiation which can exceed blackbody radiation by several orders of magnitude has potential applications in energy conversion devices, nanofabrication, and near-field imaging. The present dissertation provides a comprehensive and thorough investigation of near-field heat transfer...
