Coupling between conduction and near-field radiative heat transfer in tip-plane geometry
Abstract
We analyze the coupling between conduction and radiative heat transfer in near-field regime between two coaxial cylinders separated by a vacuum gap. By solving the heat transport equation in the steady-state regime between metals or polar materials we highlight a flux saturation mechanism for the radiative transfer even without non-local effect. In the case of polar materials this saturation occurs in the separation distances range of 1 to 10 nm which can be experimentally explored.
