Abstract:
The rate of radiative heating (cooling) of a metal nanoparticle moving near the surface of a metal plate at low temperatures (1–10 K) of both bodies is calculated. The dielectric properties of the particle and plate are described in the Drude approximation with temperature-dependent/independent relaxation frequencies of electrons. The motion of a hotter particle is shown to cause its further heating in a certain range of the temperature difference.
