We develop fluctuational electrodynamics of hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) and establish broadband near-field thermal emission beyond the black-body limit. We predict thermal topological transitions in phonon-polaritonic HMMs paving the way for near-field thermal engineering using metamaterials.

• Polaritons in layered two-dimensional materials. (2016, background): “In 2D materials, the natural hyperbolic character of these phononic modes are preferred candidates for sub-diffraction imaging (such as hyperlensing discussed earlier), and super-Planckian thermal emission[113].”
• Near-Field Thermal Radiation: Recent Progress and Outlook (2015, background): “Based on EMT, anisotropic metamaterials such as nanowires [50, 51, 59, 60], nanoholes [50, 54, 57], multilayers [55], carbon nanotubes [52, 61], and one-dimensional (1D) gratings [50] have been demonstrated to outperform bulks in terms of enhancing nearfield heat transfer.”
