Abstract

Near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) management can be achieved using high-temperature superconductors. In this work, we present a theoretical study of the radiative heat transfer between two$$\hbox {YBa}_2\hbox {Cu}_3\hbox {O}_{6.95}$$YBa2Cu3O6.95(YBCO) slabs in three different scenarios: Both slabs either in the normal or superconducting state, and only one of them below the superconductor critical temperature$$T_c$$Tc. The radiative heat transfer is calculated using Rytov’s theory of fluctuating electrodynamics, while a two-fluid model describes the dielectric function of the superconducting materials. Our main result is the significant suppression of the NFRHT when one or both of the slabs are superconducting, which is explained in terms of the detailed balance of the charge carriers density together with the sudden reduction of the free electron scattering rate. A critical and unique feature affecting the radiative heat transfer between high-temperature superconductors is the large damping of the mid-infrared carriers which screens the surface plasmon excitation.

  • The utilization of emerging systems such as phase-change materials, two-dimensional materials (such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride), and metamaterials facilitates dynamic regulation of material emissivity under external stimulant (such as temperature changes, electric field control) at cryogenic temperatures.

    From Thermal Radiation Testing Methods at Cryogenic Temperatures: A Review (2026) · cites this paper as [62]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) lists 2D materials, phase-change materials and hyperbolic materials in near-field heat-transfer research, and says heat transfer can be controlled by changing dielectric properties or applying an external magnetic field. It does not establish that all the listed systems dynamically regulate emissivity at cryogenic temperatures, or discuss hexagonal boron nitride or electric-field control. Its temperature-dependent example concerns superconducting films. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
