Land surface emissivity is a crucial parameter in the surface status monitoring. This study aims at the evaluation of four directional emissivity models, including two bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) models and two gap-frequency-based models. Results showed that the kernel-driven BRDF model could well represent directional emissivity with an error less than 0.002, and was consequently used to retrieve emissivity with an accuracy of about 0.012 from an airborne multi-angular thermal infrared data set. Furthermore, we updated the cavity effect factor relating to multiple scattering inside canopy, which improved the performance of the gap-frequency-based models.

To this day, energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection continue to be goals pursued by humanity. Passive radiation cooling, as a zero-consumption refrigeration technology, offers substantial opportunities for reducing global energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. It is of great significance to develop high-performance passive radiation cooling materials from sustainable materials.

Manipulating the thermal emission in the infrared (IR) range significantly impacts both fundamental scientific research and various technological applications, including IR thermal camouflage, information encryption, and radiative cooling. While prior research has put forth numerous materials and structures for these objectives, the significant challenge lies in attaining spatially resolved and dynamically multilevel control over their thermal emissions. In this study, a one-step ultrafast laser writing technique is experimentally demonstrated to achieve position-selective control over thermal emission based on the phase-change material GeSbTe (GST).

Article Synopsis
- Nonreciprocal thermal radiation can differ in emissivity at specific angles, challenging traditional Kirchhoff's law, and creating opportunities for thermal emitters that don’t rely on magnetic fields.
- The proposed mid-infrared thermal emitter operates between 12 μm to 20 μm with a wide angular range of 16° to 88°, utilizing a multilayered structure of Weyl semimetals and dielectrics.
- This innovation optimizes emissivity across various angles and wavelengths, indicating potential applications in areas like radiative cooling, medical sensing, and energy conversion.

Blackbody radiation is incoherent and omnidirectional, whereas various novel applications in renewable energy require a degree of directional control of a thermally emitted beam. So far, such directional control has required nano-structuring the surface of a thermally emitting material, typically by forming diffraction gratings. This, however, necessitates lithography and usually results in polarization-dependent properties.

Directional control of thermal emission over its broad wavelength range is a fundamental challenge. Gradient epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) material supporting Berreman mode has been proposed as a promising approach. However, the bandwidth is still inherently limited due to the availability of ENZ materials covering a broad bandwidth and additional undesired omnidirectional modes in multilayer stacking with increased thickness.
