Abstract

We numerically investigate the near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) between graphene and anisotropic magneto-dielectric hyperbolic metamaterials (AMDHMs) according to the fluctuational dissipation theorem. In this configuration, multiple modes, including the p- and s-polarized surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) and hyperbolic modes supported by AMDHMs as well as the high-frequency antisymmetric modes supported by graphene for p polarization, can be observed. These extraordinary propagating modes enable the total NFRHT flux between graphene and AMDHMs to exceed that between graphene and SiC nanowires by several times. Numerical results suggest that the hyperbolic modes and SPhPs for both polarizations effectively impact the NFRHT flux via tuning the geometry of AMDHMs and the conductivity of graphene. This study paves the way toward studying the NFRHT involving graphene and metamaterials and facilitates in-depth study of the s-polarized NFRHT.
