Rotation-induced significant modulation of near-field radiative heat transfer between hyperbolic nanoparticles
Yang Hu, Yasong Sun, Zhiheng Zheng +3
Modulation of near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) with rotated anisotropic hBN and MoO3 nanoparticles (NPs) are investigated. The spectral heat power, total heat power and e…

Corrected Proximity-Force Approximation for Lateral Casimir Forces
F. Bao, K. Shi
The widely-adopted proximity-force approximation (PFA) to estimate normal Casimir forces is known to be asymptotically exact at vanishing separations. In this letter, we propose a…

Inhomogeneity-Induced Casimir Transport of Nanoparticles
F. Bao, K. Shi, G. Cao +2
This letter proposes a scheme for transporting nanoparticles immersed in a fluid, relying on quantum vacuum fluctuations. The mechanism lies in the inhomogeneity-induced lateral Ca…
