This study demonstrates a near-field photonic thermal diode based on hBN and InSb films, utilizing the temperature dependence of interband absorption of InSb to couple with hyperbolic phonon polaritons in hBN, predicting rectification effects under different temperature conditions.
A thermal diode is a two-terminal device that allows heat to transfer more easily in one direction (forward bias) than in the opposite direction (reverse bias). A photonic thermal diode operates in a contactless mode and may afford a large operating temperature range. Here, a near-field photonic thermal diode based on hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and indium antimonide (InSb) films is theoretically demonstrated. The temperature dependence of the interband absorption of InSb is used to couple (or decouple) with the hyperbolic phonon polaritons in hBN. The numerical analysis predicts a rectification ratio greater than 17 for a 10 nm vacuum gap, when operating at an average temperature of 300 K and a temperature difference of 200 K. The calculated rectification ratio exceeds 35 at higher average temperatures with larger temperature differences.
