Estimate of the power of radiative heat transfer in a plasmon nanocomposite

详细

The current level of technologies makes it possible to create polymers containing nanoparticles with a distance at 10 nm between them. At such distances, the power of radiative heat transfer between particles swiftly increases due to the near-field interaction. The power of radiative heat transfer between nanoparticles is calculated using fluctuation electrodynamics. Despite an essential increase in the power due to the specified effects, radiative transfer remains several orders of magnitude less than phonon thermal conductivity and does not affect heat transfer.
