A multiscale approach to liquid crystal nematics via statistical field theory
Bing-Sui Lu
We propose an approach to a multiscale problem in the theory of thermotropic uniaxial nematics based on the method of statistical field theory. This approach enables us to relate t…
Nonequilibrium Tuning of the Thermal Casimir Effect
David S. Dean, Bing-Sui Lu, A. C. Maggs +1
In net-neutral systems correlations between charge fluctuations generate strong attractive thermal Casimir forces and engineering these forces to optimize nanodevice performance is…
Out of equilibrium thermal Casimir effect between Brownian conducting plates
B. -S. Lu, D. S. Dean, R. Podgornik
We study the thermal fluctuation induced interactions between two surfaces containing Brownian charges which are held at different temperatures. Using a dynamical form of Debye-Hüc…
Hydrodynamic fluctuation-induced forces in confined fluids
Chris Monahan, Ali Naji, Ron Horgan +2
We study thermal, fluctuation-induced hydrodynamic interaction forces in a classical, compressible, viscous fluid confined between two rigid, planar walls with no-slip boundary con…
Generalized Deam-Edwards Approach to the Statistical Mechanics of Randomly Crosslinked Systems
Xiangjun Xing, Bing-Sui Lu, Fangfu Ye +1
We address the statistical mechanics of randomly and permanently crosslinked networks. We develop a theoretical framework (vulcanization theory) which can be used to systematically…
