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…
Floquet Topological Polaritons in Semiconductor Microcavities
Rongchun Ge, Wijnand Broer, Timothy C. H. Liew
We propose and model Floquet topological polaritons in semiconductor microcavities, using the interference of frequency detuned coherent fields to provide a time periodic potential…
Significance of the Casimir force and surface roughness for actuation dynamics of MEMS
Wijnand Broer, George Palasantzas, Jasper Knoester +1
Using the measured optical response and surface roughness topography as inputs, we perform realistic calculations of the combined effect of Casimir and electrostatic forces on the…
Roughness correction to the Casimir force at short separations: Contact distance and extreme value statistics
Wijnand Broer, George Palasantzas, Jasper Knoester +1
So far there has been no reliable method to calculate the Casimir force at separations comparable to the root-mean-square of the height fluctuations of the surfaces. Statistical an…
Roughness correction to the Casimir force beyond perturbation theory
Wijnand Broer, George Palasantzas, Jasper Knoester +1
Up to now there has been no reliable method to calculate the Casimir force when surface roughness becomes comparable with the separation between bodies. Statistical analysis of rou…
