Interplay of critical Casimir and dispersion forces
Daniel Dantchev, Frank Schlesener, S. Dietrich
Using general scaling arguments combined with mean-field theory we investigate the critical () and off-critical () behavior of the Casimir forces in fluid f…
Forces between chemically structured substrates mediated by critical fluids
Monika Sprenger, Frank Schlesener, S. Dietrich
We consider binary liquid mixtures close to their critical points confined by two parallel, geometrically flat but chemically structured, substrates. Universal order parameters pro…
Critical adsorption at chemically structured substrates
Monika Sprenger, Frank Schlesener, S. Dietrich
We consider binary liquid mixtures near their critical consolute points and exposed to geometrically flat but chemically structured substrates. The chemical contrast between the va…
Liquid-crystalline Casimir effect in the presence of a patterned substrate
F. Karimi Pour Haddadan, F. Schlesener, S. Dietrich
We consider a nematic liquid crystal confined by two parallel planar interfaces, one being laterally homogeneous and the other provided by a substrate endowed with a periodic chemi…
Critical Casimir Forces in Colloidal Suspensions
F. Schlesener, A. Hanke, S. Dietrich
Some time ago, Fisher and de Gennes pointed out that long-ranged correlations in a fluid close to its critical point Tc cause distinct forces between immersed colloidal particles w…
Polymer depletion interaction between two parallel repulsive walls
F. Schlesener, A. Hanke, R. Klimpel +1
The depletion interaction between two parallel repulsive walls confining a dilute solution of long and flexible polymer chains is studied by field-theoretic methods. Special attent…
