Hysteresis-driven radiative Mpemba effect in phase-change nanostructures

The Mpemba effect states that initially hotter systems cool faster than colder ones. While known in convective, conductive, and quantum systems, its radiative analog is unexplored. Here, this anomaly is realized via phase-change hysteresis of a VO 2 nanoparticle near a SiC substr...
