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…

Quantum propulsion and trapping of nano-objects by inhomogeneity-induced lateral Casimir forces
F. Bao, K. Shi, S. He
Lateral Casimir force near a laterally-inhomogeneous plate is first revealed by both rigorous simulations and proximity approximations. The inhomogeneity-induced lateral Casimir fo…
