Attractive and repulsive terms in multi-filament dispersion interactions
Subhojit Pal, John F. Dobson, Mathias Boström
Filamentary objects such as nano-wires, nanotubes and DNA are of current interest in physics, nanoscience, chemistry, biology and medicine. They can interact via strong, exceptiona…
Inverse design for Casimir-Lifshitz force near heterogeneous gapped metal surface
M. Boström, S. Pal, H. R. Gopidi +4
The Casimir-Lifshitz force is calculated between a heterogeneous gapped metal surface and a silica sphere attached to an AFM cantilever tip. We demonstrate that heterogeneous surfa…
Nanorod Pair Complexes Manipulated via Magnetic Casimir Forces
S Pal, L. M. Woods, C. Persson +3
Controlling nanoscale interactions to suppress aggregation from short-range attractive forces is a key problem in nanoengineering. Here, we demonstrate a route to modulate Casmir-L…
High-temperature plasma in Casimir physics
Suman Kumar Panja, Mathias Boström
We present a short review of an unusual but important application for a high-temperature charged plasma. The unorthodox proposition was made by Ninham concerning a contribution fro…
Exploring the wettability of liquid iron on refractory oxides with sessile drop technique and density-functional derived Hamaker constants
Sudhanshu Kuthe, Mathias Boström, Wen Chen +2
The macroscopic interactions of liquid iron and solid oxides, such as alumina, calcia, magnesia, silica, and zirconia manifest the behavior and efficiency of high-temperature metal…
