thermal rectificationsTaking advantage of phase-transition and reconfigurable metamaterials, dynamic control of nanoscale thermal modulation can be achieved through the near-field radiative thermal rectification devices. In this work, an active-tuning near-field thermal rectifier using reconfigurable phase-...

In addition, because the space between the walls is a vacuum, there can be no heat flow across it by convection and conduction. The primary heat flow takes place via conduction through the stopper and the glass. Sign in to download full-size image Figure 23.11. Thermos® bottle. The ...
This transduction could be done through optical rectification of currents [9], or by using a thermoelectric effect, as the Seebeck mechanism [25]. Some other advanced detection strategies use nanophotonic elements to manage light absorption in semiconductor photodetectors [26]. On the other hand, ...
In this mode, liquid film adheres or is absorbed to the lyophilic surface, and negligible heat transfer takes place through the vapor space between the lyophilic and superlyophobic surfaces. It is generally believed that the reverse bias is heat conduction, giving rise to thermal rectification in...
Rectification is associated normally with a built-in electric field which occurs at the junction between appropriately selected materials. Conventional inorganic semiconductor PV cells employ a p-n junction to establish an internal field. High-efficiency PV devices are typically produced on expensive, ...

In order to reduce the influence of ambient air convection, we set the system in a vacuum chamber (see Supplementary Fig. 4). Molecular pump (LF-110) and mechanical pump (BSV-16) are employed to reduce the density of air to as low as 10−3 Pa. Temperature profiles are measured ...
