Resonant photon tunneling enhancement of the radiative heat transfer

A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson

We study the dependence of the heat transfer between two semi-infinite solids on the dielectric properties of the bodies. We show that the heat transfer at short separation between…

Radiative heat transfer between nanostructures

A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson

We simplify the formalism of Polder and Van Hove [Phys.Rev.B {\bf 4}, 3303(1971)], which was developed to calculate the heat transfer between macroscopic and nanoscale bodies of ar…

Dissipative Van der Waals interaction between a small particle and a metal surface

A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson

We use a general theory of the fluctuating electromagnetic field to calculate the friction force acting on a small neutral particle, e.g., a physisorbed molecule, or a nanoscale ob…

Adsorbate vibrational modes enhancement of radiative heat transfer and van der Waals friction

A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson

We study the dependence of the heat transfer and the van der Waals friction between two semi-infinite solids on the dielectric properties of the bodies. We show that the heat trans…

Enhancement of noncontact friction between closely spaced bodies by two-dimensional systems

A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson

. We consider the effect of an external bias voltage and the spatial variation of the surface potential, on the damping of cantilever vibrations. The electrostatic friction is due…

Quantum field theory of the van der Waals friction

A. I. Volokitin, B. N. J. Persson

The van der Waals friction between two semi-infinite solids, and between a small neutral particle and semi-infinite solid is reconsidered on the basis of thermal quantum field theo…
