Taming Radiative heat Emission with Anisotropic and Time-varying media
Thermal emission is a fundamental and ubiquitous process of energy and entropy transport, impacting science and engineering in various way. Yet, its stochastic nature, expressed in a broadband spectrum, lack of polarization and directionality, severely limits its control and manipulation. TREAT aims at introducing a novel method for engineering the radiative heat transport and achieving unprecedented dynamical control over the spectrum and the momentum of thermal radiation. To achieve this goal, I propose to combine two classes of emergent materials: time-varying epsilon-near zero (ENZ) media and hyperbolic materials (HMs). The time modulation of ENZ media will allow to overcome the…
