On 7/9/13 Jones said [snip] To explain why microscopic gaps enhance radiant
heat transfer,
a new theory of radiative heat transfer based on cavity quantum
electrodynamics (QED) is proposed. [/snip]
Jones,
So Thomas knew already something was going on at this geometry in the IR band
before plasmons were mainstream.. nice citation. We communicated for several
months in 2010 regarding Casimir theory and the "ether" vs electrostatic
interpretations of which Thomas is the latter proponent but he often referred
to efficient up and down frequency conversions induced by these geometries. I
put him on cc in hopes he will comment directly.
Also care to comment a little more on the SiC based sealant in regards to
plasmons and the Rossi device? Was it total luck, inspired or just a natural
consequence of the desired properties for hi temp sealants?
