Frequently Asked Questions (15)
Q2. Why does the shape of the IFC change?
As the thickness of dielectric spacer increases, due to two evanescently coupled polaritons with respect to one another in the bilayer system, the shape of the IFC gradually changes from circular to quasirhombus.
Q3. What is the effect of the rotation angle on the surface states of the twisted hyperbolic?
As the rotation angle increases, the surface states of the twisted hyperbolic systems gradually change from open (hyperbolic) to closed (elliptical) contours.
Q4. What is the effect of the rotation angle on the hyperbolic bright branch?
Before the rotation angle at which the topological transition arises, as the rotation angle increases, gradually the hyperbolic bright branch would be flattened.
Q5. How does the peak of the spectral RHF increase with the rotation angle?
As the rotation angle further increases, the maximum of the spectral RHF gradually decreases to the value of 0.21 nW m–2 rad–1 s at ϕ = 90◦.
Q6. What is the effect of a larger thickness of dielectric spacer on the spectral?
9. Compared with the system with smaller rotation angle, a larger thickness of dielectric spacer would lead to the obvious redshift and increasing of the spectral RHF after the rotation angle exceeds 50°.
Q7. How can the authors make a twisted graphene grating?
In practical applications, the authors note that the twisted bilayer graphene grating can be implemented experimentally in the following procedure: the bottom graphene grating can be fabricated by electron beam lithography or chemical etching on the basement [35].
Q8. Why is the surface state degraded into the hyperbolic bright band?
It can be observed that the surface state degrades into the hyperbolic bright band due to the surface state supported by the edge of the rhombus dispersion perpendicular to the kx axis being already very weak.
Q9. What is the spectral redshift for the same rotation phase?
When the authors give a larger d0 between these bilayer structures along the z axis, a spectral redshift may be observed for the same rotation phase.
Q10. How do the authors form a twisted hyperbolic system?
The authors can form a twisted hyperbolic system by coupling two identical graphene nanoribbons, as sketched in Fig. 1(a), separated by thickness ds of the dielectric spacer.
Q11. How can the authors see the effect of the heat transfer coefficient in Fig. 2(b)?
It can be seen more intuitively through the heat transfer coefficient155404-3ratio in Fig. 2(b) that the twisted system can enhance the radiative heat transfer of the system, and the enhancement would increase as the dielectric permittivity of spacer increases.
Q12. What is the relationship between the two hyperbolic polaritons?
As shown in Eq. (A9), the interbedded coupling strength at the bilayer is essentially dependent on the distance between two hyperbolic polaritons.
Q13. What is the effect of the rotation angle on the RHF of a graphene ?
In addition, it can be seen that although the dielectric permittivity of the spacer between two graphene gratings could tune the RHF of a metastructure, the dependency of RHF versus the rotation angle under different dielectric permittivity has been constant.
Q14. How does the twisted hyperbolic system affect the spectral RHF?
In order to give a more intuitive feeling of the effect on the RHF from the twisted hyperbolic system with different separated thicknesses, Fig. 9(b) presents the RHF ratio η between the twisted hyperbolic system and a nonrotating system as a function of separated thickness and rotation angle at d0 = 50 nm.
Q15. Why do the authors find the suppression effect of heat transfer in twisted hyperbolic systems?
the authors find the transition from the enhancement effect of heat transfer caused by the twisted hyperbolic system to a suppression one with increasing thickness of dielectric spacer.
