Experimental observation of heat transparency

Abstract

In this Letter, we experimentally observed heat diffusion transparency with the heat diffusion device we fabricated, which can measure time-dependent temperature. Utilizing the effective medium theory, we fabricated an isotropic spherical shell with an isotropic spherical core, as well as a multilayer isotropic spherical shell with an isotropic spherical core as neutral inclusions. We measured the temperatures and temperature gradients outside the neutral inclusions with the self-made heat diffusion device and analyzed the heat transparent conditions. The experimental results show that the temperature gradients are parallel and equal outside the neutral inclusion, and the iso-temperature lines are also parallel outside the neutral inclusion.
