By means of fluctuational electrodynamics, we calculate radiative heat flux between two planar materials respectively made SiC and SiO 2 .More specifically, focus on a first (direct) situation where one the (for example SiC) is at ambient temperature whereas second material higher one, then study (reverse) temperatures are inverted.When fluxes corresponding to situations different, said exhibit thermal rectification, property with potential applications in regulation.Rectification variations...
