Tunable Phonon Polaritons in Atomically Thin van der Waals Crystals of Boron Nitride (2014, positive): “The phonon polaritons are collective modes that originate from coupling of photons with optical phonons (10) in polar crystals that have been investigated in the context of energy transfer (11, 12), coherent control of the lattice (13), ultra-microscopy (14, 15), “superlensing” (16) and metamaterial”
Phonon-polaritonics: enabling powerful capabilities for infrared photonics (2019, background): “Finally, particle PhPs in SiO2 microspheres have been shown to enable enhanced near-field heat transfer from the microsphere to a SiO2 plane by coupling to the respective plane SPhPs [234]; likely both LSPhPs and HRI Mie PhPs contribute to this phenomenon in this case.”
Radiative heat transfer at the nanoscale (2009, background): “The first measurements between two dielectric materials were reported by the MIT grou”
Nanoantennas for visible and infrared radiation (2011, background): “Much effort has been devoted and is still needed to gain a correct understanding of heat flows at the nanoscale, where evanescent thermal fields play a significant role in radiative heat transfer [314, 315].”
Near-Field Thermal Radiation: Recent Progress and Outlook (2015, background): “[114] can be attributed to the SPhPs in SiO2 originally predicted by Mulet et al.”
