Numerically exact calculation of electromagnetic heat transfer between a dielectric sphere and plate
Abstract
We present a numerically exact calculation of electromagnetic heat transfer between a dielectric sphere and plate. We compare the calculation to a recent experiment. Our calculations unify various approximations previously used to treat this problem, and provide a basis for new physical insights into the design of nanoscale thermal transfer experiments.
