Casimir force in a water nanolayer confined by graphene sheets
Wijnand Broer, Jure Dobnikar
Casimir forces, arising from quantum and thermal fluctuations, depend strongly on the electromagnetic susceptibilities of the interacting materials. Here, we theoretically investig…
Levitated Ferromagnetic Torsional Oscillators for High-Precision Magnetometry and Probing Exotic Interactions
Ren Yichong, Wu Lielie, Broer Wijnand +3
Levitated ferromagnetic systems are expected to have significant potential in precision magnetic field sensing by leveraging mechanical isolation to minimize mechanical contact and…
Field-Tunable Meissner-Levitated Ferromagnetic Microsphere Sensor for Cryogenic Casimir and Short-Range Gravity Tests
Yi-Chong Ren, Feng Xu, Wijnand Broer +2
Near-field force measurements at submicron separations can probe Casimir effects and hypothetical short-range interactions, but require cryogenic operation and stable, \textit{in s…
Interplay between finite thickness and chirality effects on the Casimir-Lifshitz torque with nematic cholesteric liquid crystals
Wijnand Broer, Rudolf Podgornik
We theoretically investigate the combined effects of the chirality and the finite total thickness of nematic cholesteric liquid crystals on the Casimir-Lifshitz torque. We find tha…
Qualitative chirality effects on the Casimir-Lifshitz torque with liquid crystals
Wijnand Broer, Bing-Sui Lu, Rudolf Podgornik
We model a cholesteric liquid crystal as a planar uniaxial multilayer system, where the orientation of each layer differs slightly from that of the adjacent one. This allows us to…
Maxwell Eigenmode approach to the Casimir-Lifshitz Torque
Wijnand Broer, John Yuh Han Liow, Bing-Sui Lu
More than forty years ago, Barash published a calculation of the full retarded Casimir-Lifshitz torque for planar birefringent media with arbitrary degrees of anisotropy. An indepe…
