Abstract

Quantizing the electromagnetic vacuum and medium fields of two nanoparticles, we investigate the heat transfer between them. One of the particles has been considered to rotate by angular velocity ω₀. The effect of rotation on the absorbed heat power by the rotating nanoparticle is discussed. The results for angular velocities much smaller than the relaxation frequency Γ of the dielectrics are in agreement with the static nanoparticles, however increasing the angular velocity ω₀ in comparison to the relaxation frequency of the dielectrics (ω₀ ≥ Γ) generates two sidebands in the spectrum of the absorbed heat power. The well-known near-field and far-field effects are studied and it is shown that the sidebands peaks in far-field are considerable in comparison to the main peak frequency of the spectrum.
