We derive a new accurate and closed-form expression of the radiative near-field heat transfer. We also analyse the flux and find that there is a doping level that maximizes the heat flux. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00428587/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00428587/file/ms_rousseau.pdf %L hal-00428587 %U https://hal.science/hal-00428587 %~ IOGS %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-PSUD %~ PARISTECH %~ LCFIO %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ UNIV-PSUD-SACLAY %~ ANR
