Abstract
A multi-mode heat transfer system includes an emitter device with an inner core surrounded by an outer core having an outer surface and an emission surface disposed on the outer surface. The emission surface includes a thermal metamaterial configured to direct heat from the inner core in at least two desired directions to an object other than the emitter device. The object can include a thermal receiver devices, for example two receiver devices and the emission surface can direct heat to two different receiver devices spaced apart from the emitter device.
