Attractive force on atoms due to blackbody radiation
Philipp Haslinger, Matt Jaffe, Victoria Xu +5
Objects at finite temperature emit thermal radiation with an outward energy-momentum flow, which exerts an outward radiation pressure. At room temperature, a cesium atom scatters o…
The Roentgen interaction and forces on dipoles in time-modulated optical fields
Matthias Sonnleitner, Stephen M. Barnett
The Roentgen term is an often neglected contribution to the interaction between an atom and an electromagnetic field in the electric dipole approximation. In this work we discuss h…
