Abstract

It is shown that a graphene layer on top of a dielectric slab can dramatically influence the ability of this dielectric for radiative heat exchange. Effect of graphene is related to thermally excited plasmons. Frequency of these resonances lies in the terahertz region and can be tuned by varying the Fermi level through doping or gating. Heat transfer between two dielectrics covered with graphene can be larger than that between best known materials and even much larger at low temperatures. Moreover, high heat transfer can be significantly modulated by electrical means that opens up new possibilities for very fast manipulations with the heat flux.
