Macroscopic thermal diode with stable rectification ratio by thermal null medium

Thermal diode can achieve a unidirectional and irreversible thermal transport, which can be used for direction-selective thermal management. Here we demonstrate a macroscopic thermal diode by asymmetrically embedding staggered structure of copper and expanded polystyrene sheets in stainless steel ba...
