Repulsive Casimir Effects
K. A. Milton, E. K. Abalo, Prachi Parashar +3
Like Casimir's original force between conducting plates in vacuum, Casimir forces are usually attractive. But repulsive Casimir forces can be achieved in special circumstances. The…
Microdroplet oscillations during optical pulling
Simen Å. Ellingsen
It was recently shown theoretically that it is possible to pull a spherical dielectric body towards the source of a laser beam [Nature Photonics {\bf 5}, 531 (2011)], a result with…
Electrostrictive fluid pressure from a laser beam
Simen Å. Ellingsen, Iver Brevik
Recent times have seen surge of research activity on systems combining fluid mechanics and electromagnetic fields. In radiation optics, whenever information about the distribution…
Casimir-Polder energy level shifts of an out-of-equilibrium particle near a microsphere
Simen Å. Ellingsen, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Stefan Scheel
Rydberg atoms and beams of ultracold polar molecules have become highly useful experimental tools in recent years. There is therefore a need for accessible calculations of interact…
Static and dynamic response of a fluid-fluid interface to electric point and line charge
Simen Å. Ellingsen, Iver Brevik
We consider the behaviour of a dielectric fluid-fluid interface in the presence of a strong electric field from a point charge and line charge, respectively, both statically and, i…
Temperature-independent Casimir-Polder forces in arbitrary geometries
Simen Å. Ellingsen, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Stefan Scheel
We show that the Casimir-Polder potential of a particle in an energy eigenstate at nonretarded distance from a well-conducting body of arbitrary shape is independent of the environ…
