...S. Basu; B. J. Lee; Z. M. Zhang This paper describes a theoretical investigation of near-field radiative heat transfer between doped silicon surfaces separated by a vacuum gap. An improved dielectric function model for heavily doped silicon is employed. The effects of doping level, polarization...

... and reflectance of the samples in the wavelength range from 2 μ m to 20 μ m . Accurate carrier mobility and ionization models were identified after carefully reviewing the available literature, and then incorporated into the Drude model to predict the dielectric function of doped Si. The radiative properties...

... by employing an impedance boundary condition to describe the electromagnetic spherical interface condition and thus capture the surface modes. This work shows that the spherical boundary can result in spectral conditions for surface mode excitation that depend not only on the dielectric function...
