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…
