A Thermal-Electric Cloak via Nonlinear Transformation by Muhammad Ahsan, Fei Sun

“…A thermal-electric invisibility cloaking is designed by a nonlinear transformation, which can guide both electric current and heat flux around the concealed region and restore their original diffusion directions. Compared with previous thermal-electric cloaks designed by linear transformation, the proposed thermal-electric cloak by nonlinear transformation can introduce some parameters during the coordinate transformations, thus providing more degrees of freedom for subsequent material design and selection. …”
