Dependence of chaotic behavior on optical properties and electrostatic effects in double beam torsional Casimir actuation
F. Tajik, M. Sedighi, A. A. Masoudi +2
We investigate the influence of Casimir and electrostatic torques on double beam torsional microelectromechanical systems with materials covering a broad range of conductivities of…
Graphene-on-silicon near-field thermophotovoltaic cell
V. B. Svetovoy, G. Palasantzas
A graphene layer on top of a dielectric can dramatically influence ability of the material to radiative heat transfer. This property of graphene is used to improve the performance…
Sensitivity of micromechanical actuation on amorphous to crystalline phase transformations under the influence of Casimir forces
M. Sedighi, W. H. Broer, G. Palasantzas +1
Amorphous to crystalline phase transitions in phase change materials (PCM) can have strong influence on the actuation of microelectromechanical systems under the influence of Casim…
Roughness correction to the Casimir force at short separations: Contact distance and extreme value statistics
Wijnand Broer, George Palasantzas, Jasper Knoester +1
So far there has been no reliable method to calculate the Casimir force at separations comparable to the root-mean-square of the height fluctuations of the surfaces. Statistical an…
Switching Casimir forces with Phase Change Materials
G. Torricelli, P. J. van Zwol, O. Shpak +4
We demonstrate here a controllable variation in the Casimir force. Changes in the force of up to 20% at separations of ~100 nm between Au and AgInSbTe (AIST) surfaces were achieved…
Influence of random roughness on cantilever curvature sensitivity
O. Ergincan, G. Palasantzas, B. J. Kooi
In this work we explore the influence of random surface roughness on the cantilever sensitivity to respond to curvature changes induced by changes in surface stress. The roughness…
The distance upon contact: Determination from roughness profile
P. J. van Zwol, V. B. Svetovoy, G. Palasantzas
The point at which two random rough surfaces make contact takes place at the contact of the highest asperities. The distance upon contact d_0 in the limit of zero load has crucial…
