• Finite-size-dependent dispersion potentials between atoms and ions dissolved in water 

      Thiyam, Priyadarshini; Boström, Mathias; Persson, Clas; Parsons, Drew F.; Brevik, Iver Håkon; Sernelius, Bo. E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      A non-expanded theory is used for dispersion potentials between atoms and ions dissolved in a medium. The first-order dispersion interaction between two atoms in an excited state must account for the fact that the two atoms ...
    • The influence of Lifshitz forces and gas on premelting of ice within porous materials 

      Boström, Mathias; Malyi, Oleksandr; Thiyam, Priyadarshini; Berland, Kristian; Brevik, Iver Håkon; Persson, Clas; Parsons, Drew F. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Premelting of ice within pores in earth materials is shown to depend on the presence of vapor layers. For thick vapor layers between ice and pore surfaces, a nanosized water sheet can be formed due to repulsive Lifshitz ...
