Global consequences of a local Casimir force: Adhered cantilever
V. B. Svetovoy, A. E. Melenev, M. V. Lokhanin +1
Although stiction is a cumbersome problem for microsystems, it stimulates investigations of surface adhesion. In fact, the shape of an adhered cantilever carries information of the…
Characterization of optical properties and surface roughness profiles: The Casimir force between real materials
P. J. van Zwol, V. B. Svetovoy, G. Palasantzas
The Lifshitz theory provides a method to calculate the Casimir force between two flat plates if the frequency dependent dielectric function of the plates is known. In reality any p…
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…
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…
Weak dispersive forces between glass-gold macroscopic surfaces in alcohols
P. J. van Zwol, G. Palasantzas, J. Th. M. DeHosson
In this work we concentrate on an experimental validation of the Lifshitz theory for van der Waals and Casimir forces in gold-alcohol-glass systems. From this theory weak dispersiv…
