• Effect of excess charge carriers and fluid medium on the magnitude and sign of the Casimir-Lifshitz torque 

      Thiyam, Priyadarshini; Parashar, Prachi; Shajesh, Kuloth Vayalombron; Malyi, Oleksandr; Boström, Mathias; Milton, K. A.; Brevik, Iver Håkon; Forsman, Jan; Persson, Clas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Last year, we reported a perturbative theory of the Casimir-Lifshitz torque between planar biaxially anisotropic materials in the retarded limit [Thiyam et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 131601 (2018)], which is applied here ...
    • Premelting and formation of ice due to Casimir-Lifshitz interactions: Impact of improved parameterization for materials 

      Li, Yang; Milton, Kimball A.; Brevik, Iver Håkon; Malyi, Alexandr I.; Thiyam, Priyandarshini; Persson, Clas; Parsons, Drew F.; Boström, Mathias (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Recently, the premelting and formation of ice due to the Casimir-Lifshitz interaction, proposed in early 1990s by Elbaum and Schick [Phys. Rev. Lett. 66, 1713 (1991)], have been generalized to diverse practical scenarios, ...
    • Tuning the Casimir-Lifshitz force with gapped metals 

      Boström, Mathias; Rizwan Khan, M.; Gopidi, H. R.; Brevik, Iver Håkon; Li, Y.; Persson, Clas; Malyi, O. I. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The Casimir-Lifshitz interaction, a long-range force that arises between solids and molecules due to quantum fluctuations in electromagnetic fields, has been widely studied in solid-state physics. The degree of polarization ...
