Casimir interactions between two parallel graphene sheets carrying steady-state drift currents
Modi Ke, Dai-Nam Le, Lilia M. Woods
We investigate the fluctuation-induced Casimir interactions between two parallel graphene sheets carrying steady-state drift currents. The graphene properties are modeled based on…
Prediction of a measurable sign change in the Casimir force using a magnetic fluid
Long Ma, Larissa Inácio, Dai-Nam Le +2
We demonstrate quantum levitation controlled by Casimir forces acting between a polystyrene surface and a Teflon-coated metallic substrate immersed in a mixture of Toluene and magn…
Phononic Casimir Effect in Planar Materials
Pablo Rodriguez-Lopez, Dai-Nam Le, Lilia M. Woods
The Phononic Casimir effect between planar objects is investigated by deriving a formalism from the quantum partition function of the system following multiscattering approach. Thi…
Radiative Heat Transfer and 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Materials
Long Ma, Dai-Nam Le, Lilia M. Woods
Radiative heat transfer is of great interest from a fundamental point of view and for energy harvesting applications. This is a material dependent phenomenon where confined plasmon…
Interface Magnetism in Vanadium-doped MoS/Graphene Heterostructures
Diem Thi-Xuan Dang, Yen Thi-Hai Pham, Da Zhou +4
Magnetism in two-dimensional materials is of great importance in discovering new physical phenomena and developing new devices at the nanoscale. In this paper, first-principles sim…
Twisting in h-BN bilayers and their angle-dependent properties
Diem Thi-Xuan Dang, Dai-Nam Le, Lilia M. Woods
In this paper, we systematically investigate the structural and electronic properties of twisted h-BN bilayers to understand the role of the twisting angle. Using first-principles…
