Measurements of the Casimir-Lifshitz force in fluids: the effect of electrostatic forces and Debye screening
J. N. Munday, Federico Capasso, V. Adrian Parsegian +1
In this work, we present detailed measurements of the Casimir-Lifshitz force between two gold surfaces (a sphere and a plate) immersed in ethanol and study the effect of residual e…
Rydberg-London Potential for Diatomic Molecules and Unbonded Atom Pairs
Kevin Cahill, V. Adrian Parsegian
We propose and test a pair potential that is accurate at all relevant distances and simple enough for use in large-scale computer simulations. A combination of the Rydberg potentia…
Computational Consequences of Neglected First-Order van der Waals Forces
Kevin Cahill, V. Adrian Parsegian
We have computed the widely neglected first-order interaction between neutral atoms. At interatomic separations typical of condensed media, it is nearly equal to the 1/r^6 second-o…
Van der Waals interactions across stratified media
R. Podgornik, V. A. Parsegian
Working at the Lifshitz level, we investigate the van der Waals interactions across a series of layers with a periodic motif. We derive the complete form of the van der Waals inter…
Universal Thermal Radiation Drag on Neutral Objects
Vanik Mkrtchian, V. Adrian Parsegian, Rudi Podgornik +1
We compute the force on a small neutral polarizable object moving at velocity relative to a photon gas equilibrated at a temperature We find a drag force linear in $\v…
Osmotic properties of polyethyleneglycols: quantitative features of brush and bulk scaling laws
Per Lyngs Hansen, Joel A. Cohen, Rudi Podgornik +1
From glycosylated cell surfaces to sterically stabilized liposomes, polymers attached to membranes attract biological and therapeutic interest. Can the scaling laws of polymer "bru…
