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…
