What this work contributes
Measures magnetically tunable nonreciprocal absorption and emission across a broader infrared band using layered InAs. Comparing two layer thicknesses links fabrication choices to measured optical behavior.
Where the evidence stops
Absorption and emission measurements use different temperatures and instruments, introducing shifts and uncertainty. No propulsion force or complete heat-engine performance is measured.
