= Near-field radiative heat transfer
{wiki=Near-field_radiative_heat_transfer}
Near-field radiative heat transfer refers to the transfer of thermal energy between two closely spaced objects or surfaces through electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the near-field regime. This phenomenon occurs at distances close to the thermal wavelength of the emitted radiation, typically on the order of nanometers to micrometers, which is much smaller than the typical distances for far-field radiative heat transfer.
