Effects of phase transitions in devices actuated by the electromagnetic vacuum force
A. Benassi, C. Calandra
We study the influence of the electromagnetic vacuum force on the behaviour of a model device based on materials, like germanium tellurides, that undergo fast and reversible metal-…
Vacuum fluctuation forces between ultra-thin films
Andrea Benassi, Carlo Calandra
We have investigated the role of the quantum size effects in the evaluation of the force caused by electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations between ultra-thin films, using the dielectri…
Role of vacuum fluctuation forces in thin metal film stability
Andrea Benassi, Carlo Calandra
Thin metal films are subject to the pressure caused by the zero point oscillations of the electromagnetic field, which depends upon the film optical properties and, in case of depo…
A study of the electromagnetic fluctuation induced forces on thin metallic films
Andrea Benassi, Carlo Calandra
Using the plasma model for the metal dielectric function we have calculated the electromagnetic fluctuation induced forces on a free standing metallic film in vacuum as a function…
