Thermal radiation ofsubwavelengthparticles

Abstract

A method is proposed for calculating the dependences of the emissivity of subwavelength parti-cles (SP) from various materials in the form of disks, spheres, cubes and cylinders on their sizes (D) and temperature (T), for cases when external electromagnetic radiation practically does not affect their temperature. For all the listed types of particles, the cutoff wavelengths λcutoffdepending on the size of the SP and the particle shape coefficients ξare determined. With a decrease in the particle size, from the radiation spectrum, which was originally described by Planck's law, wavelengths exceeding λcutoffare gradually excluded. This leads to a decrease in the integral radiation, a decrease in the emissivity and a shift of the radiation spectrum to the blue region. A simple scheme is also proposed for determining ε -the emission coefficients of the midrange according to the calculated graph ε (U), where: U = (ξ × D × T) / B; B is the con-stant of the Wien displacement formula.
