Enlarged Molecules from Excited Atoms in Nanochannels
Mathias Boström, Iver Brevik, Bo E. Sernelius +3
The resonance interaction that takes place in planar nanochannels between pairs of excited state atoms is explored. We consider interactions in channels of silica, zinc oxide and g…
Sign of the Casimir-Polder interaction between atoms and oil-water interfaces: Subtle dependence on dielectric properties
Mathias Boström, Simen Å. Ellingsen, Iver Brevik +2
We demonstrate that Casimir-Polder energies between noble gas atoms (dissolved in water) and oil-water interfaces are highly surface specific. Both repulsion (e.g. hexane) and attr…
Ultrathin Metallic Coatings Can Induce Quantum Levitation between Nanosurfaces
Mathias Boström, Barry W. Ninham, Iver Brevik +3
There is an attractive Casimir-Lifshitz force between two silica surfaces in a liquid (bromobenze or toluene). We demonstrate that adding an ultrathin (5-50Å) metallic nanocoating…
