Photon Torpedoes and Rytov Pinwheels: Integral-Equation Modeling of Non-Equilibrium Fluctuation-Induced Forces and Torques on Nanoparticles

M. T. Homer Reid, O. D. Miller, A. G. Polimeridis +3

We present new theoretical tools, based on fluctuational electrodynamics and the integral-equation approach to computational electromagnetism, for numerical modeling of forces and…

Limits to the Optical Response of Graphene and 2D Materials

Owen D. Miller, Ognjen Ilic, Thomas Christensen +5

2D materials provide a platform for strong light--matter interactions, creating wide-ranging design opportunities via new-material discoveries and new methods for geometrical struc…

Fundamental limits to optical response in absorptive systems

Owen D. Miller, Athanasios G. Polimeridis, M. T. Homer Reid +5

At visible and infrared frequencies, metals show tantalizing promise for strong subwavelength resonances, but material loss typically dampens the response. We derive fundamental li…

On the Computation of Power in Volume Integral Equation Formulations

A. G. Polimeridis, M. T. H. Reid, S. G. Johnson +2

We present simple and stable formulas for computing power (including absorbed/radiated, scattered and extinction power) in current-based volume integral equation formulations. The…

Fundamental limits to nanoparticle extinction

Owen D. Miller, Chia W. Hsu, M. T. Homer Reid +5

We show that there are shape-independent upper bounds to the extinction cross section per unit volume of randomly oriented nanoparticles, given only material permittivity. Underlyi…

Geometry-induced Casimir suspension of oblate bodies in fluids

Alejandro W. Rodriguez, M. T. Homer Reid, Francesco Intravaia +4

We predict that a low-permittivity oblate body (disk-shaped object) above a thin metal substrate (plate with a hole) immersed in a fluidof intermediate permittivity will experience…
