Prediction of a measurable sign change in the Casimir force using a magnetic fluid

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…
Nanorod Pair Complexes Manipulated via Magnetic Casimir Forces
S Pal, L. M. Woods, C. Persson +3
Controlling nanoscale interactions to suppress aggregation from short-range attractive forces is a key problem in nanoengineering. Here, we demonstrate a route to modulate Casmir-L…
High-temperature plasma in Casimir physics
Suman Kumar Panja, Mathias Boström
We present a short review of an unusual but important application for a high-temperature charged plasma. The unorthodox proposition was made by Ninham concerning a contribution fro…
Attractive and repulsive terms in multi-filament dispersion interactions
Subhojit Pal, John F. Dobson, Mathias Boström
Filamentary objects such as nano-wires, nanotubes and DNA are of current interest in physics, nanoscience, chemistry, biology and medicine. They can interact via strong, exceptiona…
Beyond Attraction: A Novel Approach to Repulsive Casimir-Lifshitz Forces using heterogeneous off-stoichiometry in gapped metals
S. Pal, S. Osella, O. I. Malyi +1
We uncover a novel physical mechanism that enables a switch between attractive and repulsive Casimir forces when a Teflon surface interacts with a new form of quantum material (i.e…
Dispersion Interaction Between Thin Conducting Cylinders
Subhojit Pal, Iver Brevik, Mathias Boström
The ground state and excited state resonance dipole-dipole interaction energy between two elongated conducting molecules are explored. We review the current status for ground state…

M. Boström, A. Gholamhosseinian, S. Pal +2
From the late 1960s and onwards the groups of Barry Ninham and Adrian Parsegian, and their many collaborators, made a number of important contributions to theory and experiment of…
Inverse design for Casimir-Lifshitz force near heterogeneous gapped metal surface
M. Boström, S. Pal, H. R. Gopidi +4
The Casimir-Lifshitz force is calculated between a heterogeneous gapped metal surface and a silica sphere attached to an AFM cantilever tip. We demonstrate that heterogeneous surfa…
Different pathways to anomalous stabilization of ice layers on methane hydrates
Y. Li, I. Brevik, O. I. Malyi +1
We explore the Casimir-Lifshitz free energy theory for surface freezing of methane gas hydrates near the freezing point of water. The theory enables us to explore different pathway…
Effect of excess charge carriers and fluid medium on the magnitude and the sign of the Casimir-Lifshitz torque
P. Thiyam, Prachi Parashar, K. V. Shajesh +6
Last year, we reported a perturbative theory of the Casimir-Lifshitz torque between planar biaxially anisotropic materials in the retarded limit [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 120}, 131601…
Premelting and formation of ice due to Casimir-Lifshitz interactions: Impact of improved parameterization for materials
Yang Li, Kimball A. Milton, Iver Brevik +5
Recently, the premelting and formation of ice due to the Casimir-Lifshitz interaction, proposed in early 1990s by Elbaum and Schick [Phys. Rev. Lett. 66, 1713-1716 (1991)], have be…
Distance-dependent sign-reversal in the Casimir-Lifshitz torque
Priyadarshini Thiyam, Prachi Parashar, K. V. Shajesh +5
The Casimir-Lifshitz torque between two biaxially polarizable anisotropic planar slabs is shown to exhibit a non-trivial sign-reversal in its rotational sense. The critical distanc…
Orientational dependence of the van der Waals interactions for finite-sized particles
Johannes Fiedler, Clas Persson, Mathias Boström +1
Van der Waals forces as interactions between neutral and polarisable particles act at small distances between two objects. Their theoretical origin lies in the electromagnetic inte…
Effective Polarisability Models
Johannes Fiedler, Priyadarshini Thiyam, Anurag Kurumbail +7
Theories for the effective polarisability of a small particle in a medium are presented using different levels of approximation: we consider the virtual cavity, real cavity and the…
Lifshitz interaction can promote ice growth at water-silica interfaces
Mathias Boström, Oleksandr I. Malyi, Prachi Parashar +6
At air-water interfaces, the Lifshitz interaction by itself does not promote ice growth. On the contrary, we find that the Lifshitz force promotes the growth of an ice film, up to…

P. Thiyam, E. R. A. Lima, O. I. Malyi +4
We study the effect of salts on the thickness of wetting films on melting ice and interactions acting on CO bubble near ice-water and vapor-water interfaces. Governing mechanis…
