    High-injection effects in near-field thermophotovoltaic devices

    In near-field thermophotovoltaics, a substantial enhancement of the electrical power output is expected as a result of the larger photogeneration of electron-hole pairs due to the tunneling of evanescent modes...

    Heat transfer between a hot AFM tip and a cold sample: impact of the air pressure

    We observe the heat flux exchanged by the hot tip of a scanning thermal microscope, which is an instrument based on the atomic force microscope. We first vary the pressure in order to analyze the impact on the...

    Heat Transfer between a Self-Heated Scanning Thermal Microscopy Probe and a Cold Sample: Impact of the Probe Temperature

    Scanning Thermal Microscopy measurements with a resistive microprobe electrically heated were performed for different probe temperatures, for probe free in air and in contact with various specimens. The measur...
