А model of absorption of electromagnetic energy of radiofrequency range by biological tissues is described in the article. The problems of modeling the interaction of microwave radiation and biological tissues represented as multilayer structures are considered. Patch-antenna models for six sub-bands overlapping the 500–3500 MHz range are developed. The model of biological tissue was developed on the basis of MRI imaging, which allows for modeling under near real-life conditions. Based on the developed models of transceivers and biotissue, models have been created that allow to analyze the absorption of electromagnetic energy in the near- and far fields of the transmitter. From the results of modelling in the near field we can see that there are certain absorption maxima at frequencies of 750, 938, 1250 and 1357 MHz. Based on the results of the far field modeling it can be noted that in the range of 750 to 1000 MHz there is no absorption peak at 938 MHz. Also, as a result of the simulation, a decrease in the magnitude of absorption starting from 750 MHz was registered. Absorption peak absence is also observed in the area of 1357 MHz frequency. In the range of 2.5–3 GHz both in the near and far fields practically linear decrease of absorption value is observed. When analyzing the influence of structures' sizes on electromagnetic energy absorption in biological tissues, it was found that the nature of change in absorption value is a nonlinear value. In the range of 0.5–2 GHz both increase and decrease of absorption at thickening or thinning of layers is observed. It should also be noted that when the size of each layer increases by 10 %, the peak of absorption in the area of 1156 MHz frequency is observed. For the 2–3.5 GHz range there are no significant changes in the chart shape when the layer thickness changes.

AbstractIn the close vicinity of a hot body, at distances smaller than the thermal wavelength, a high electromagnetic energy density exists due to the presence of evanescent fields radiated by the partial charges in thermal motion around its surface. This energy density can surpass the energy density in vacuum by several orders of magnitude. By approaching a photovoltaic (PV) cell with a band gap in the infrared frequency range, this nonradiative energy can be transferred to it by photon tunnelling and surface mode coupling. Here we review the basic ideas and recent progress in near-field energy harvesting.

AbstractWe study the influence of optical near-field interactions on the dipole surface plasmon resonance of Au nanoparticles in closely spaced particle arrays using finite-difference timedomain simulations. In particular, the resonance energies of the collective plasmon-polariton modes are determined for longitudinal and transverse polarization for different particle array lengths and inter-particle spacings of 50 nm Au spheres in air. The obtained results are set in context with recent publications suggesting the possibility to use ordered arrays of closely spaced noble metal nanoparticles as plasmon waveguides for electromagnetic energy below the diffraction limit of light.

ABSTRACTA model is given for the transport of electromagnetic energy through structures that consist of chains of closely spaced metal nanoparticles. This transport relies on the near-field electrodynamic interaction between metal particles that sets up coupled plasmon modes. The model predicts that the propagation is coherent and the group velocities can exceed typical saturation velocities of electrons in semiconductors (≈ 105 m/s). Furthermore, it is shown that in these structures propagation of energy around sharp corners (bending radius << the wavelength of visible light) is possible at high efficiency. This efficiency is a strong function of the frequency and polarization direction of the plasmon mode. The operation of a plasmon switch is modeled, in which plasmon waves can be switched or modulated. Finally, suggestions are given for the choice of metal particle and host material.
