What is the physical mechanism responsible for this huge enhancement ?
The density of energy is the product of
- the density of states, - the energy h- the Bose Einstein distribution.
The density of states can diverge due to the presence of surface waves :Surface phonon-polaritons.

Dispersion relation of a surface phonon-polariton
It is seen that the number of modes diverges for a particular frequency. This happens only close to the surface.

Derivation of the thermal emission of a hot body
i) A volume element below the interface contains currents due to the random thermal motion of charges.
ii) Each volume element is equivalent to a dipolar antenna that emits radiation.
iii) The mean field is null.

Thermal currents radiates surface waves
A grating ruled on the surface scatters the surface wave. The scattered wavevector is related to the surface wave wavevector by the relationship :

The emission pattern looks like an antenna emission pattern. The angular width is a signature of the spatial coherence.

The interface as an antenna (1)
• What is an antenna ?i) Increases the emitted power.ii) Modifies the emission pattern.
•How does it work ?
Antenna = Intermediate resonator between the source and vacuum :
i) More energy is extracted from the source because the LDOS is enhanced (Purcell effect)ii) The resonator is a secondary source.

i) The output is increased because the LDOS is increased (Purcell effect)
ii) The angular pattern of the antenna depends on the decay length of the SPP.

Conclusions
* The existence of surface modes of electromagnetic waves modifies drastically the emission. * Radiative heat transfer can be increased by four orders of magnitude between two plates.* Radiative heat transfer can be very local. * Radiative heat transfer is almost monochromatic at nanoscale.* Radiation emitted by a thermal source is temporally coherent (monochromatic)close to an interface that supports a surface wave.* Radiation emitted by a thermal source is spatially coherent (narrow emitted beams).* Highly directional infrared thermal antennas can be designed.
