Tuning near field radiative heat flux through surface excitations with a metal insulator transition
P. J. van Zwol, L. Ranno, J. Chevrier
The control of heat flow is a formidable challenge due to lack of good thermal insulators. Promising new oppor-tunities for heat flow control were recently theoretically discovered…
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…
Repulsive Casimir forces between solid materials with high refractive index intervening liquids
P. J. van Zwol, G. Palasantzas
In order to explore repulsive Casimir/van der Waals forces between solid materials with liquid as the intervening medium, we analyze dielectric data for a wide range of materials a…
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…
Influence of water adsorbed on gold on van der Waals/Casimir forces
G. Palasantzas, V. B. Svetovoy, P. J. van Zwol
In this paper we investigate the influence of ultra thin water layer (1-1.5 nm) on the van der Waals/Casimir force between gold surfaces. Adsorbed water is inevitably present on go…
The influence of dielectric properties on van der Waals/Casimir forces in solid-liquid systems
P. J. van Zwol, G. Palasantzas, J. Th. M. De Hosson
In this article we present calculations of van der Waals/Casimir forces, described by Lifshitz theory, for the solid-liquid-solid system using measured dielectric functions of all…
