Fast heat flux modulation at the nanoscale
P. J. van Zwol, K. Joulain, P. Ben Abdallah +2
We introduce a new concept for electrically controlled heat flux modulation. A flux contrast larger than 10 dB is expected with switching time on the order of tens of nanoseconds.…
Influence of roughness on capillary forces between hydrophilic surfaces
P. J. van Zwol, G. Palasantzas, J. Th. M. De Hosson
Capillary forces have been measured by Atomic Force Microscopy in the plate-sphere setup between gold, borosilicate glass, GeSbTe, titanium, and UV irradiated amorphous titaniumdio…
Optical properties of gold films and the Casimir force
V. B. Svetovoy, P. J. van Zwol, G. Palasantzas +1
Precise optical properties of metals are very important for accurate prediction of the Casimir force acting between two metallic plates. Therefore we measured ellipsometrically the…
Measurement of dispersive forces between evaporated metal surfaces in the range below 100 nm
P. J. van Zwol, G. Palasantzas, M. van de Schootbrugge +1
In this work we describe dispersion force (van der Waals/Casimir) measurements between gold surfaces at separations as close as 12 nm. The force measurements were performed in the…
Influence of random roughness on the Casimir force at small separations
P. J. van Zwol, G. Palasantzas, J. Th. M. De Hosson
The influence of random surface roughness of Au films on the Casimir force is explored with atomic force microscopy in the plate-sphere geometry. The experimental results are compa…
Roughness corrections to the Casimir force: The importance of local surface slope
P. J. van Zwol, G. Palasantzas, J. Th. M. De Hosson
This paper concentrates on a study where finite conductivity corrections are included in the theoretical description of the effects of roughness on the Casimir force. The roughness…
