Abstract

We derive the formula for the near-field radiative heat flux between dipole particles and a multilayered slab composed of the uniaxial medium. Based on that, the multilayered structure consisting of SiC and VO2 materials is applied to actively modulate the radiative heat transfer between nanoparticles and slab. Utilizing the modulation feature of the multilayer, surface modes from the multilayer can be strongly coupled to the particle resonance, greatly enhancing the heat flux between the particle and slab. The phase change feature of VO2 allows the active control of multilayered surface modes by changing the slab's temperature, greatly tuning the heat flux. We address the role of multilayer parameters on the modulation effect. We also demonstrate that the multilayered structure can also actively tune the heat flux between the nanoparticle array and slab.
