Radiative heat transfer between nanoparticles: shape dependence and   three-body effect
  We study the effect of particles shape on the radiative heat transfer in a three-body system. It is found that the radiative heat flux between two nanoparticles in a three body system can be tuned by the shape of the third particle. In particular, we show that the heat flux is very sensitive to the particle shapes and slight mismatches of shapes results in either enhanced or suppressed heat flux.
