Solution of near-field thermal radiation in one-dimensional layered media using dyadic Green's functions and the scattering matrix method (2009, methodology): “Most of the available papers on one-dimensional layered media have focused on two half-spaces separated by a vacuum gap, and they report only the final equation of the radiative heat flux for a specific configuration [19,33,34].”
Review of near‐field thermal radiation and its application to energy conversion (2009, unknown): “Detailed discussions about the solution of Maxwell’s equations can be obtained from Francoeur and Menguc [44].”
Thermal Impacts on the Performance of Nanoscale-Gap Thermophotovoltaic Power Generators (2011, methodology): “Near-field radiant energy exchanges between the radiator and the cell are calculated using fluctuational electrodynamics, where a stochastic current density is added to the Maxwell equations to account for the random fluctuations of charges due to thermal agitation within a material [ 9 ], [20].”
