“…The book by Chew [44] provides an exhaustive discussion, including numerical techniques from computational electrodynamics. Let us simply note that in practice, it is possible to avoid the volume integration in (9) and get instead an integral over the surfaces of the bodies [9,45,46]. (The price to pay is the restriction to spatially constant temperatures inside the bodies.)…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] These differences can be viewed as a consequence of the improved coherence properties 8 of the radiative field in the near field. Due to its various potential applications, including imaging, lighting, and heat-to-electrical conversion, 9-11 the manipulation of thermal radiation field has attracted much attention in recent studies.…”

We first develop a general Green's-function method for the slab geometry, which can handle quite complex conversions between the different polarized radiation modes. Then by using the method, we study the near field thermal coherence properties of a slab of Z 2 topological insulator (TI) with a finite thickness. Under a strong enough external magnetic field, the gapless helical Dirac fermions on the TI surfaces can acquire an energy gap larger than the photon energy of the radiation field at the Dirac point. This gapped surface states can couple strongly with the waveguide modes in the bulk of the TI slab, which thus induces an electromagnetic resonance. Exactly due to the resonance, the coherence properties of the thermal radiation field can be modified dramatically. For Z 2 topological insulators, the parameter regime with the surface Hall conductivity half integer quantized is unique. We demonstrated that within the parameter regime, for a TI slab of a proper thickness, the thermal radiation energy density can be enhanced very much, and the coherence length of the thermal radiation field can be as long as twice that of SiC.
