Transverse modulation in electrovac Brinkmann pp-waves: Maxwell consistency and curvature universality
Galin S. Valchev
Electrovac pp--waves in Brinkmann form provide exact Einstein--Maxwell solutions for co--propagating null radiation. Motivated by lensing or scattering, one often ``modulates'' a p…
Flexoelectric fluid membranes in electric field. Shape equations and exact solutions
Galin S. Valchev, Vassil M. Vassilev
The shape equation for an axisymmetric fluid membrane is derived, assuming action of an uniform external electric field. The flexoelectric contribution to the free energy of the me…
Behavior of the van der Waals force between a plate and a single-walled carbon nanotube under uniform hydrostatic pressure: a theoretical study
Galin Valchev, Peter Djondjorov, Vassil Vassilev +1
We study the behaviour of the non-retarded van der Waals force between a planar substrate and a single-walled carbon nanotube, assuming that the system is immersed in a liquid medi…
Fluctuation-Induced Interactions Between Ellipsoidal Particle and Planar Substrate Immersed in Critical Medium
G. S. Valchev, D. M. Dantchev
In our study we investigate the behaviour of the net force (NF) emerging between an ellipsoidal particle and a thick plate (slab), when the interaction takes place in a near critic…
Sign change in the net force in sphere-plate and sphere-sphere systems immersed in nonpolar critical fluid due to the interplay between the critical Casimir and dispersion van der Waals forces
Galin Valchev, Daniel Dantchev
We study systems in which both long-ranged van der Waals and critical Casimir interactions are present. We study the interplay between these forces, as well as the {\it total} forc…
Critical and near critical phase behaviour and interplay between the thermodynamic Casimir and van der Waals forces in confined non-polar fluid medium with competing surface and substrate potentials
Galin Valchev, Daniel Dantchev
We study the behavior of the critical Casimir force and its interplay with the van der Waals force acting between two parallel slabs separated at a distance from each other con…
