Abstrakt: An approach to controlling heat flux based on electron emission in the double layer assembly of two materials with different work functions has been developed. It is shown that this two-electrode assembly promotes the inverse heat flux exhibiting a thermal metamaterial property in a wide range of temperatures. The proposed thermal metamaterial can be used as an active element of a thermal diode, ensuring heat flux in one direction regardless of temperature difference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
