Spreading fronts of wetting liquid droplets: microscopic simulations and universal fluctuations
J. M. Marcos, P. Rodríguez-López, J. J. Melendez +2
We have used kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations of a lattice gas to study front fluctuations in the spreading of a non-volatile liquid droplet onto a solid substrate. Our result…
Effect of Curvature and Confinement on the Casimir-Polder Interaction
Pablo Rodriguez-Lopez, Thorsten Emig, Ehsan Noruzifar +1
Modifications of Casimir-Polder interactions due to confinement inside a cylindrical cavity and due to curvature in- and outside the cavity are studied. We consider a perfectly con…
Material Dependence of the Wire-Particle Casimir Interaction
E. Noruzifar, P. Rodriguez-Lopez, T. Emig +1
We study the Casimir interaction between a metallic cylindrical wire and a metallic spherical particle by employing the scattering formalism. At large separations, we derive the as…
Casimir repulsion between Topological Insulators in the diluted regime
Pablo Rodriguez-Lopez
The Pairwise Summation Approximation (PSA) of Casimir energy is applied to a system of two dielectrics with magnetoelectric coupling. In particular, the case of Topological Insulat…
Casimir Energy and Entropy in the Sphere--Sphere Geometry
Pablo Rodriguez-Lopez
We calculate the Casimir energy and entropy for two spheres described by the perfect metal model, plasma model, and Drude model in the large separation limit. We obtain nonmonotoni…
Dynamical approach to the Casimir effect
Pablo Rodriguez-Lopez, Ricardo Brito, Rodrigo Soto
Casimir forces can appear between intrusions placed in different media driven by several fluctuation mechanisms, either in equilibrium or out of it. Herein, we develop a general fo…
Three-body Casimir effects and non-monotonic forces
P. Rodriguez-Lopez, S. J. Rahi, T. Emig
Casimir interactions are not pair-wise additive. This property leads to collective effects that we study for a pair of objects near a conducting wall. We employ a scattering approa…
