Trapping in a Casimir Force Set-Up Controlled by Solution Permeability
S. Pal, L. Inacio, L. M. Woods +3
We have designed a system enabling tuning Casimir attraction/repulsion transitions between a polystyrene sphere attached to an atomic force microscope tip near a Teflon surface in…
Casimir Forces Across Magnetic Plasmas at Nuclear Separations
S. K. Panja, L. Inacio, S. Pal +1
A theory and numerical findings are presented on the magnetic Casimir interaction that arises from vacuum fluctuations of the quantized field and its effects at the nuclear scale.…
Understanding ice and water film formation on soil particles by combining DFT and Casimir-Lifshitz forces
M. Boström, S. Kuthe, S. Carretero-Palacios +7
Thin films of ice and water on soil particles play crucial roles in environmental and technological processes. Understanding the fundamental physical mechanisms underlying their fo…
A knob to tune the Casimir-Lifshitz force with gapped metals
M. Boström, M. Rizwan Khan, H. R. Gopidi +4
The Casimir-Lifshitz interaction, a long-range force that arises between solids and molecules due to quantum fluctuations in electromagnetic fields, has been widely studied in soli…
