Quantum Friction in Arbitrarily Directed Motion
J. Klatt, M. B. Farias, D. A. R. Dalvit +1
Quantum friction, the electromagnetic fluctuation-induced frictional force decelerating an atom which moves past a macroscopic dielectric body, has so far eluded experimental evide…
Distinguishing models of surface response through the self-energy of an electron
Robert Bennett, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Claudia Eberlein
The self-energy of an electron confined between parallel surfaces with arbitrary dielectric properties is calculated. The mechanism for this effect is the surface-induced modificat…
Electric dipole polarizabilities of Rydberg states of alkali atoms
V. A. Yerokhin, S. Y. Buhmann, S. Fritzsche +1
Calculations of the static electric-dipole scalar and tensor polarizabilities are presented for two alkali atoms, Rb and Cs, for the , , and stat…
Effects of van der Waals forces and salt ions on the growth of water films on ice and the detachment of CO bubbles
P. Thiyam, E. R. A. Lima, O. I. Malyi +4
We study the effect of salts on the thickness of wetting films on melting ice and interactions acting on CO bubble near ice-water and vapor-water interfaces. Governing mechanis…
Impact of Casimir-Polder interaction on Poisson-spot diffraction at a dielectric sphere
Joshua Leo Hemmerich, Robert Bennett, Thomas Reisinger +5
Diffraction of matter-waves is an important demonstration of the fact that objects in nature possess a mixture of particle-like and wave-like properties. Unlike in the case of ligh…
Dynamical Casimir-Polder force between an excited atom and a conducting wall
Federico Armata, Ruggero Vasile, Pablo Barcellona +3
We consider the dynamical atom-surface Casimir-Polder force in the non-equilibrium configuration of an atom near a perfectly conducting wall, initially prepared in an excited state…
