Search for deviations from the ideal Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution for a gas at an interface
Petko Todorov, João Carlos de Aquino Carvalho, Isabelle Maurin +2
The isotropic Maxwell-Boltzmann (M-B) velocity distribution is the accepted standard for a gas at thermal equilibrium, with the Doppler width considered to deliver a very precise m…
Testing the limits of the Maxwell distribution of velocities for atoms flying nearly parallel to the walls of a thin cell
Petko Todorov, daniel Bloch
For a gas at thermal equilibrium, it is usually assumed that the velocity distribution follows an isotropic 3-dimensional Maxwell-Boltzmann (M-B) law. This assumption classically i…
Backward-emitted sub-Doppler fluorescence from an optically thick atomic vapor
João Carlos de Aquino Carvalho, Athanasios Laliotis, Martine Chevrollier +2
Literature mentions only incidentally a sub-Doppler contribution in the excitation spectrum of the backward fluorescence of a dense vapor. This contribution is here investigated on…

Casimir-Polder forces in the presence of thermally excited surface modes
Athanasios Laliotis, Thierry Passerat de Silans, Isabelle Maurin +2
The temperature dependence of the Casimir-Polder interaction addresses fundamental issues for understanding vacuum and thermal fluctuations. It is highly sensitive to surface waves…
Experimental observations of temperature effects in the near-field regime of the Casimir-Polder interaction
Thierry Passerat de Silans, Athanasios Laliotis, Isabelle Maurin +4
We investigate the temperature dependence of the Casimir-Polder interaction in the electrostatic limit. This unusual phenomenon relies on the coupling between a virtual atomic tran…
