MBD+C: how to incorporate metallic character into atom-based dispersion energy schemes
John F. Dobson, Alberto Ambroselli
The dispersion component of the van der Waals (vdW) interaction in low-dimensional metals is known to exhibit anomalous "Type-C non-additivity" [Int. J. Quantum Chem. 114, 1157 (20…
Faraday-cage screening reveals intrinsic aspects of the van der Waals attraction
Musen Li, Jeffrey R. Reimers, John F. Dobson +1
General properties of the recently observed screening of the van der Waals (vdW) attraction between a silica substrate and silica tip by insertion of graphene are predicted using b…
Casimir-Polder size consistency -- a constraint violated by some dispersion theories
Tim Gould, Julien Toulouse, János Ángyán +1
A key goal in quantum chemistry methods, whether ab initio or otherwise, is to achieve size consistency. In this manuscript we formulate the related idea of "Casimir-Polder size co…
Spooky correlations and unusual van der Waals forces between gapless and near-gapless molecules
John F. Dobson, Andreas Savin, Janos G. Angyan +1
We consider the zero-temperature van der Waals interaction between two molecules, each of which has a zero or near-zero electronic gap between a groundstate and the first excited s…
Layer Response Theory: Energetics of layered materials from semi-analytic high-level theory
John F. Dobson, Tim Gould, Sebastien Lebegue
We present a readily computable semi-analytic Layer Response Theory (LRT) for analysis of cohesive energetics involving two-dimensional layers such as BN or graphene. The theory ap…
Binding and interlayer force in the near-contact region of two graphite slabs: experiment and theory
Tim Gould, Ze Liu, Jefferson Zhe Liu +3
Via a novel experiment, Liu \emph{et al.} [Phys. Rev. B, {\bf 85}, 205418 (2012)] estimated the graphite binding energy, specifically the cleavage energy, an important physical pro…
