Fundamental limits for noncontact transfers between two bodies

Fundamental limits for noncontact transfers between two bodies

We investigate energy and momentum noncontact exchanges between two arbitrary flat media separated by a gap. This problem is revisited as a transmission problem of individual system eigenmodes weighted by a transmission probability obtained either from fluctuational electrodynamics or quantum field theory. An upper limit for energy and momentum flux …
