Title: Radiative heat transfer between nanoparticles: Shape dependence and three-body effect
Abstract: We study the effect of particles' shape on the radiative heat transfer in a three-body system. It is found that the radiative heat flux between two nanoparticles in a three-body system can be tuned by the shape of the third particle. In particular, we show that the heat flux is very sensitive to the particle shapes, and slight mismatches of shapes result in either enhanced or suppressed heat flux.
