Adsorbate vibrational mode enhancement of radiative heat transfer
PACS: 78.20.-e
Abstract
We show that the radiative heat transfer between two solid surfaces at short separation may increase by many order of magnitude when the surfaces are covered by adsorbates. In this case the heat transfer is determined by resonant photon tunneling between adsorbate vibrational modes. We propose an experiment to check the theory.
