Hidden heat transfer in equilibrium states implies directed motion in nonequilibrium states [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 73, 065107(R) (2006), 2005 We study a class of heat engines including Feynman's ratchet, which exhibits a directed motion of a particle in nonequilibrium steady states maintained by two heat baths. We measure heat transfer from each heat bath separately, and average them using a careful procedure that reveals the nature of the heat transfer associated with directed steps of the ...

Near-field radiative heat transfer between macroscopic planar surfaces [PDF]
, 2011 Near-field radiative heat transfer allows heat to propagate across a small vacuum gap in quantities that are several orders of magnitude greater then the heat transfer by far-field, blackbody radiation. Although heat transfer via near-field effects has been discussed for many years, experimental verification of this theory has been very limited.

Time-modulated near-field radiative heat transfer. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 We explore near-field radiative heat transfer between two bodies under time modulation by developing a rigorous fluctuational electrodynamics formalism. We demonstrate that time modulation can results in the enhancement, suppression, elimination, or reversal of radiative heat flow between the two bodies, and can be used to create a radiative thermal ...
