Background: Acoustic power transfer is a method for wireless energy transfer to implanted medical devices that permits a greater range of separation between transmitter and receiver than is possible with inductive power transfer. In some cases, short-distance ultrasonic power transfer may be employed; consequently, their operation may be complicated by the near-field aspects of piezoelectric acoustic energy transfer. Methods: A piezoelectric energy transfer system consisting of two lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers was analyzed in this work using a combination of experimental measurements and computer simulations. Results: Simulations using the COMSOL Software package showed good agreement with a measured output voltage as a function of the distance between and alignment of the transmitter and receiver with water as a medium. We also simulated how operating frequency affects power transfer efficiency at various distances between the transmitter and receiver and found reasonable agreement with experiments. We report model predictions for power transfer efficiency as a function of the thickness and diameter of the transmitter and receiver. Conclusion: The results show that with proper choice of parameters, piezoelectric systems can provide high power transfer efficiency in the near-field region.

The behavior of near-field heat transfer between molecules at gaps which are small compared to wavelength of light is greatly influenced by non-radiative dipole-dipole interactions between the molecules. Here we derive the coupling parameters and estimate the near-field heat transfer between two molecules using coupled Drude oscillators. The predictions from this model are verified with results from standard fluctuational electrodynamics principles. The effect of orientation factor of the dipole moments in the molecules traditionally taken into consideration for analysis of resonance energy transfer between molecules but hitherto overlooked for near-field heat transfer is also discussed.

Near-field effects in radiative transfer refer to the collective influence of interference, diffraction, and tunneling of electro-magnetic waves on energy transfer between two or more objects. Most studies of near-field radiative transfer have so far focused on the enhancement due to tunneling of surface polaritons. In this work, we show the existence of sharp peaks in the radiative transfer spectrum between two spheres of polar materials that are not due to surface polaritons. The peaks, which are present on either side of the restrahlen band, are because of Mie resonances.
