The influence of the Casimir effect on the binding potential for 3D wetting
Alessio Squarcini, José M. Romero-Enrique, Andrew O. Parry
We provide comprehensive details of how a previously overlooked entropic, or low temperature Casimir contribution, , to the total binding potential for 3D short-ranged wetting…

The Casimir effect in wetting layers
Alessio Squarcini, José M. Romero-Enrique, Andrew O. Parry
For a long time, the study of thermal effects at three-dimensional (3D) short-ranged wetting transitions considered only the effect of interfacial fluctuations. We show that an ent…
