Light absorption in conducting materials produces heating of their conduction
electrons, followed by relaxation into phonons within picoseconds, and subsequent
diffusion into the surrounding media over longer timescales. This conventional
picture of optical heating is supplemented by radiative cooling, which typically
takes place at an even lower pace, only becoming relevant for structures held in
vacuum or under extreme thermal isolation. Here, we reveal an ultrafast radiative
cooling regime between neighboring plasmon-supporting graphene nanostructures in
which noncontact heat transfer becomes a dominant channel. We predict that more
than 50% of the electronic heat energy deposited on a graphene disk can be
transferred to a neighboring nanoisland within a femtosecond timescale. This
phenomenon is facilitated by the combination of low electronic heat capacity and
large plasmonic field concentration in doped graphene. Similar effects should
occur in other van der Waals materials, thus opening an unexplored avenue toward
efficient heat management.Electron relaxation, which is the dominant release
channel of electronic heat in nanostructures, occurs with characteristic times of
several picoseconds. Here, the authors predict that an ultrafast (femtosecond)
radiative cooling regime takes place in plasmonically active neighboring graphene
nanodisks prior to electron relaxation.
