Sign of the Casimir-Polder interaction between atoms and oil-water interfaces: Subtle dependence on dielectric properties
Mathias Boström, Simen Å. Ellingsen, Iver Brevik +2
We demonstrate that Casimir-Polder energies between noble gas atoms (dissolved in water) and oil-water interfaces are highly surface specific. Both repulsion (e.g. hexane) and attr…

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…
