Drift current-induced tunable near-field energy transfer between twist magnetic Weyl semimetals and graphene

Both the nonreciprocal surface modes in Weyl semimetal (WSM) with a large anomalous Hall effect and the nonreciprocal photon occupation number on a graphene surface induced by the drift current provide a promising way to manipulate the nonreciprocal near-field energy transfer. Interestingly, the int...

description Both the nonreciprocal surface modes in Weyl semimetal (WSM) with a large anomalous Hall effect and the nonreciprocal photon occupation number on a graphene surface induced by the drift current provide a promising way to manipulate the nonreciprocal near-field energy transfer. Interestingly, the interactions between nonreciprocities are highly important for research in (thermal) photonics but remain challenging. In this study, we theoretically investigated the near-field radiative heat flux transfer between a graphene heterostructure supported by a magnetic WSM and a twist-Weyl semimetal (T-WSM). The nonreciprocal surface mode could be changed by the separation space between two Weyl nodes and the twist angle. Notably, we found that in the absence of a temperature difference between two parallel plates, nonequilibrium fluctuations caused by drift currents led to the transfer of near-field radiative heat flux. Furthermore, these nonreciprocal surface modes interacted with the nonreciprocal photon occupation number in graphene to achieve flexible manipulation of the near-field heat flux size and direction. Additionally, graphene adjustable flux in the case of a temperature difference between the two plates was also discussed. Our scheme can provide a reference for near-field heat flux regulation in nonequilibrium systems.
