Role of surface states in the Casimir force between semiconducting films
Marco Govoni, Carlo Calandra, Andrea Benassi
We present results of first principle calculations of the Casimir force between Si films of nanometric size, which show that it depends significantly upon the configuration of the…

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-…

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…
