Relaxation of the thermal Casimir force between net neutral plates containing Brownian charges
David S. Dean, Rudolf Podgornik
We investigate the dynamics of thermal Casimir interactions between plates described within a living conductor model, with embedded mobile anions and cations, whose density field o…
Pseudo-Casimir interactions across nematic films with disordered anchoring axis
Fahimeh Karimi Pour Haddadan, Ali Naji, Azin Kh. Seifi +1
We consider the effective pseudo-Casimir interaction forces mediated by a nematic liquid-crystalline film bounded by two planar surfaces, one of which imposes a random (disordered)…
Hydrodynamic fluctuation-induced forces in confined fluids
Chris Monahan, Ali Naji, Ron Horgan +2
We study thermal, fluctuation-induced hydrodynamic interaction forces in a classical, compressible, viscous fluid confined between two rigid, planar walls with no-slip boundary con…
Tensorial conservation law for nematic polymers
Daniel Svenšek, Gregory M. Grason, Rudolf Podgornik
We derive the "conservation law" for nematic polymers in tensorial form valid for quadrupolar orientational order in contradistinction to the conservation law in the case of polar…
Electrostatic stability and encapsidation of charged nano-droplets
Leili Javidpour, Anže Lošdorfer Božič, Ali Naji +1
We investigate electrostatic stability of charged droplets, modeled as permeable, charged spheres, and their encapsidation in thin, arbitrarily charged nano-shells, immersed in a n…
Perspective: Coulomb fluids -- weak coupling, strong coupling, in between and beyond
Ali Naji, Matej Kanduč, Jan Forsman +1
We present a personal view on the current state of statistical mechanics of Coulomb fluids with special emphasis on the interactions between macromolecular surfaces, concentrating…
