When a normal metal is brought in contact with a superconductor, Cooper pairs may leak into the metal inducing genuine superconducting properties in it, an effect generically referred to as proximity effect. In particular,...
Thermal radiation plays a major role in energy conversion, thermal management, and data storage. In recent years, several experiments on thermal radiation between bulk materials have demonstrated that radiative heat transfer can be greatly...
A 4-year PhD studentship funded by the EU-FP7 Marie Curie Career Integration Grants scheme is available. The research work will focused on the theoretical description of surface-plasmon-assisted phenomena at the nano- and subnano-metric scales....
