Spatial and spectral distributions of thermal radiation emitted by a semi-infinite body and absorbed by a flat film

We analyze the radiative power emitted by a semi-infinite medium and absorbed by a flat film located in its vicinity. In the near-field regime, if the film is thin enough, the surface waves at the rear interface of the film can contribute to the heat transfer. As a result, the absorbed power can be...
