In this paper, the authors developed the fluctuational electrodynamics of metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion and showed the existence of broadband thermal emission beyond the black body limit in the near field.Abstract:
We develop the fluctuational electrodynamics of metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion and show the existence of broadband thermal emission beyond the black body limit in the near field. This arises due to the thermal excitation of unique bulk metamaterial modes, which do not occur in conventional media. We consider a practical realization of the hyperbolic metamaterial and estimate that the effect will be observable using the characteristic dispersion (topological transitions) of the metamaterial states. Our work paves the way for engineering the near-field thermal emission using metamaterials.read more

Surface phonon polaritons mediated energy transfer between nanoscale gaps.
TL;DR: It is experimentally demonstrated that surface phonon polaritons dramatically enhance energy transfer between two surfaces at small gaps by measuring radiation heat transfer between a microsphere and a flat surface down to 30 nm separation.
