摘要
We design thermal emitters based on gold micrograting structures with VO2-filled slots for enhanced far-field thermal rectification. We numerically calculate the thermal rectification ratio for two different approaches, peak extinction and peak shift. In peak extinction, the VO2 phase transition switches the radiative coupling of the surface plasmon on and off. In peak shift, the phase transition shifts the wavelength of the radiatively-coupled surface plasmon. We vary the extinction coefficient of VO2 to determine the effect on rectification for each approach. In both cases, the rectification ratio can be increased by increasing the VO2 loss in the metallic state. This suggests that highly efficient, microstructured thermal rectifiers can be achieved via suitable manipulation of the optical properties of VO2.
