Chemistry Central Journal, 2007 Background The prediction of ligand binding or protein structure requires very accurate force field potentials – even small errors in force field potentials can make a 'wrong' structure (from the billions possible) more stable than the single, 'correct ...

Effects of Van der Waals force on natural frequency for micro cantilever
AIP Advances, 2015 In this paper, a dynamics equation of the micro cantilever is presented which includes Van der Waals force. Using the equation, the effects of the Van der Waals force on the natural frequency for the micro cantilever is investigated.

Review of Adhesion Fundamentals for Micron-Scale Particles
KONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2014 The effects of various fundamental forces on the adhesion of fine dust particles are reviewed. The particle-size and distance variation of surface-energy related (e.g., van der Waals) forces are compared to similar ...

Surface van der Waals forces in a nutshell [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2019 Most often in chemical physics, long range van der Waals surface interactions are approximated by the exact asymptotic result at vanishing distance, the well known additive approximation of London dispersion forces due to Hamaker. However, the description of retardation effects that is known since the time of Casimir is completely neglected for the ...

Effects of the van der Waals Force on the Dynamics Performance for a Micro Resonant Pressure Sensor
Shock and Vibration, 2016 The micro resonant pressure sensor outputs the frequency signals where the distortion does not take place in a long distance transmission. As the dimensions of the sensor decrease, the effects of the van der Waals forces should be considered.

Force of light on a two-level atom near an ultrathin optical fiber
New Journal of Physics, 2018 We study the force of light on a two-level atom near an ultrathin optical fiber using the mode function method and the Green tensor technique. We show that the total force consists of the driving-field force, the spontaneous-emission recoil force, and ...
