A mechanism for ice growth on the surface of a spherical water droplet

Yang Li, Prachi Parashar, Iver Brevik +3

The formation and growth of ice particles, particularly on the surfaces of spherical water droplets, bear profound implications for localized weather systems and global climate. He…

Dispersion forces in inhomogeneous planarly layered media: A one-dimensional model for effective polarisabilities

Johannes Fiedler, Fabian Spallek, Priyadarshini Thiyam +4

Dispersion forces such as van der Waals forces between two microscopic particles, the Casimir--Polder forces between a particle and a macroscopic object or the Casimir force betwee…

Understanding the difference in cohesive energies between alpha and beta tin in DFT calculations

Fleur Legrain, Sergei Manzhos

The transition temperature between the low-temperature alpha phase of tin to beta tin is close to the room temperature (Tab =13C), and the difference in cohesive energy of the two…

Comparison of alpha- and beta- tin for lithium, sodium, and magnesium storage: an ab initio study including phonon contributions

Fleur Legrain, Oleksandr I. Malyi, Clas Persson +1

We present a comparative ab initio study of Li, Na, and Mg storage in tin, including phononic effects and phase competition between alpha and beta Sn. Mg doping at low concentratio…

Non-Perturbative Theory of Dispersion Interactions

M. Boström, P. Thiyam, C. Persson +4

Some open questions exist with fluctuation-induced forces between extended dipoles. Conventional intuition derives from large-separation perturbative approximations to dispersion f…

Non-Perturbative Theory for Dispersion Self-Energy of Atoms

Priyadarshini Thiyam, C. Persson, I. Brevik +2

We go beyond the approximate series-expansions used in the dispersion theory of finite size atoms. We demonstrate that a correct, and non-perturbative, theory dramatically alters t…
