Abstract
The spine-like structure appears on some smooth organisms and has a high light absorption cross-section. Inspired by the spiny structure in the nature, this study establishes models of solid and hollow spiny particles. The effects of spine cross-section size, uniform and nonuniform spine distribution, hollow size, gap, and spine dislocation on near-field radiative heat transfer of spiny particles are investigated based on the thermal discrete dipole approximations method. The spectral radiative conductance and volumetric net power distribution are obtained. The results indicate that the coupling of localized surface phonons between two particles is affected by spine cross-section size and spine distribution. Near-field radiative heat transfer of spiny particles is enhanced maximumly when the frequencies are slightly lower than the resonance frequency of smooth particles. The peak of the spectral conductance is red-shifted and decreases with the increase of hollow size. The uniformity of volumetric power absorbed distribution increases and the variation of the relative spectral conductance decreases with increasing gap. The influence of two particles’ spine dislocation on near-field radiative heat transfer and volumetric power absorbed distribution is not obvious.
