Enhanced dispersion interaction between quasi-one dimensional conducting collinear structures
Angela White, John F. Dobson
Recent investigations have highlighted the failure of a sum of terms to represent the dispersion interaction in parallel metallic, anisotropic, linear or planar nanostruct…
Asymptotics of the dispersion interaction: analytic benchmarks for van der Waals energy functionals
John F. Dobson, Angela White, Angel Rubio
We show that the usual sum of contributions from elements separated by distance can give \emph{qualitatively} wrong results for the electromagnetically non-retarded va…
Nonuniversality of the dispersion interaction: analytic benchmarks for van der Waals energy functionals
John F. Dobson, Angel Rubio
We highlight the non-universality of the asymptotic behavior of dispersion forces, such that a sum of inverse sixth power contributions is often inadequate. We analytically evaluat…
Quasi-local-density approximation for a van der Waals energy functional
John F. Dobson
We discuss a possible form for a theory akin to local density functional theory, but able to produce van der Waals energies in a natural fashion. The usual Local Density Approximat…
