Zhao C. Thermal Radiation from Macro to Nano 2024

Textbook in PDF format

Thermal radiation studies have progressed rapidly, not only in theoretical and experimental exploration beyond the conventional use but also in advanced applications. This is a one-stop resource for capturing and discussing these cutting-edge developments exploring the theory, experiments, and applications of thermal radiation from macro- to nanoscale. Presented in a systematic framework, this book is divided into two parts: the first on macroscopic thermal radiation and the second on micro- and nanoscale thermal radiation. Each part delivers basic theory, numerical methods, advanced experimental techniques, and promising applications, making this an easy-to-follow guide meeting both basic and advanced needs. Supported by more than 180 colorful illustrations, readers can clearly visualize the theory, experiments, and applications in practice. A book for all, written at a graduate level but undoubtedly a useful tool for researchers, professionals, and even engineers who are interested in this fast-developing area
