A fast and strong microactuator powered by internal combustion of hydrogen and oxygen
Ilia Uvarov, Pavel Shlepakov, Vitaly Svetovoy
The development of fast and strong microactuators that can be integrated in microdevices is an essential challenge due to a lack of appropriate driving principles. In this paper, a…
Experimentum crucis for electromagnetic response of metals to evanescent waves and the Casimir puzzle
G. L. Klimchitskaya, V. M. Mostepanenko, V. B. Svetovoy
It is well known that the Casimir force calculated at large separations using the Lifshitz theory differs by a factor of 2 for metals described by the Drude or plasma models. We ar…
Probing the response of metals to low-frequency s-polarized evanescent fields
G. L. Klimchitskaya, V. M. Mostepanenko, V. B. Svetovoy
Experimental test for the response function of metals to the low-frequency s-polarized evanescent waves is proposed by measuring the lateral component of magnetic field of an oscil…
Spontaneous chemical reactions between hydrogen and oxygen in nanobubbles
Vitaly B. Svetovoy
Bulk nanobubbles (NBs) generated electrochemically by short voltage pulses of alternating polarity behave differently from those produced by regular methods. Only bubbles smaller t…
Tunable Wettability of Polymer Films by Partial Engulfment of Nanoparticles
Weiteng Guo, Chongnan Ye, Gert H. tenBrink +3
A series of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) surfaces decorated by Cu nanoparticles (NP) with gradually varied morphology were prepared by high-pressure CO2 treatment at various ti…
A way to measure the dispersion forces near the van der Waals-Casimir transition
V. B. Svetovoy, A. V. Postnikov, I. V. Uvarov +2
Forces induced by quantum fluctuations of electromagnetic field control adhesion phenomena between rough solids when the bodies are separated by distances ~10nm. However, this dist…
