Researchers measured near-field thermal transport in periodic photonic structures, developing a transient all-optical method with focused ion beam deposition to quantify heat flux between patterned surfaces. This allowed for experimental demonstration of 100nm-scale resolution and clarified the near-field thermal radiation heat transfer mechanism in artificial structures.
