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…

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…
