Abstract :
We develop fluctuational electrodynamics of hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) and establish broadband near-field thermal emission beyond the black-body limit. We predict thermal topological transitions in phonon-polaritonic HMMs paving the way for near-field thermal engineering using metamaterials.
