Temperature dependent Casimir forces: recurring subtleties
L. R. Fisher, B. W. Ninham
The Casimir force between two ideal conducting surfaces is a special (zero temperature) limit of a more general theory due to Lifshitz. The temperature dependent theory includes co…
Casimir forces in a Plasma: Possible Connections to Yukawa Potentials
Barry W. Ninham, Mathias Boström, Clas Persson +3
We present theoretical and numerical results for the screened Casimir effect between perfect metal surfaces in a plasma. We show how the Casimir effect in an electron-positron plas…
Information Exchange via Surface Modified Resonance Energy Transfer
Mathias Boström, Clas Persson, Dan Huang +2
The theory is presented for resonance interaction between two atoms in an excited configuration: one atom, the "receptor" of information (i.e. energy), adsorbed on a phospholipid s…
Ultrathin Metallic Coatings Can Induce Quantum Levitation between Nanosurfaces
Mathias Boström, Barry W. Ninham, Iver Brevik +3
There is an attractive Casimir-Lifshitz force between two silica surfaces in a liquid (bromobenze or toluene). We demonstrate that adding an ultrathin (5-50Å) metallic nanocoating…
Casimir-Lifshitz interaction between ZnO and SiO2 nanorods in bromobenzene: retardation effects turn the interaction repulsive at intermediate separations
Mathias Boström, Bo E. Sernelius, Gustavo Baldissera +2
We consider the interaction between a ZnO nanorod and a SiO2 nanorod in bromobenzene. Using optical data for the interacting objects and ambient we calculate the force - from short…
Retardation turns the van der Waals attraction into Casimir repulsion already at 3 nm
Mathias Boström, Bo E. Sernelius, Iver Brevik +1
Casimir forces between surfaces immersed in bromobenzene have recently been measured by Munday et al. Attractive Casimir forces were found between gold surfaces. The forces were re…
