Sensitivity and accuracy of Casimir force measurements in air
Joseph L. Garrett, David A. T. Somers, Kyle Sendgikoski +1
Quantum electrodynamic fluctuations cause an attractive force between metallic surfaces. At separations where the finite speed of light affects the interaction, it is called the Ca…
Rotation of a liquid crystal by the Casimir torque
David A. T. Somers, Jeremy N. Munday
We present a calculation of the Casimir torque acting on a liquid crystal near a birefringent crystal. In this system, a liquid crystal bulk is uniformly aligned at one surface and…
The effect of patch potentials in Casimir force measurements determined by heterodyne Kelvin probe force microscopy
Joseph L. Garrett, David Somers, Jeremy N. Munday
Measurements of the Casimir force require the elimination of electrostatic interactions between the surfaces. However, due to electrostatic patch potentials, the voltage required t…
