Architectured Materials for the Control of Radiative Heat Transfer

This book is a part of a set of 4 books which offers students, engineers and researchers advanced knowledge for the design and the elaboration of architectured materials in which the transport of radiative heat is controlled for an energy application (concentrated solar power, radiative cooling, spatial propulsion, matter transformation in manufactured industry). These 4 monographs come from the 14 written courses given during the spring CNRS thematic school MATTER (Architectured Materials for the control of Radiative Heat Transfer: from material elaboration process up to applications in industrial conditions) and organized by the French research network TAMARYS (May 10-15, 2022). This second monograph offers to the reader a clear understanding of the multi-scale mechanisms at the origin of the radiative properties of any material as well as improved methodologies to experimentally determine their thermo-spectral dependence up to very high temperatures. This monograph gives in-depthknowledge useful for researchers, teachers, engineers and students in charge of developing materials with prescribed radiative properties.
