Optical van-der-Waals forces in molecules: from electronic Bethe-Salpeter calculations to the many-body dispersion model [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 The authors devise an efficient quantum approach to address the van der Waals interactions due to photoexcitations by approximating the Bethe-Salpeter equation. Both attractive/repulsive forces can arise, that could couple to collective protein dynamics.

Surface van der Waals forces in a nutshell [PDF]
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 ...

Renormalization and Universality of Van der Waals forces* [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2010 Renormalization ideas can profitably be exploited in conjunction with the superposition principle of boundary conditions in the description of model independent and universal scaling features of the singular and long range Van der Waals force between ...

Brushed creation of liquid marbles [PDF]
PeerJ Materials Science, 2022 A method where particulates are transferred via a cosmetic brush onto liquid drops created on a highly non-wetting substrate with a hole to generate talc and graphite liquid marbles (LMs) and talc-graphite Janus liquid marbles is described. van der Waals

Dynamical criticality of spin-shear coupling in van der Waals antiferromagnets
Nature Communications, 2022 Van der Waals materials are characterized by two dimensional layers weakly held together by interlayer van der Waals forces. Here, the authors study how shear motions between these layers influence the magnetic properties of the van der Waals ...

Aggregation process of kaolinite clay [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Clay geomaterials pose a great challenge in geotechnical design due to their complex mechanical behaviour. Despite the vast research on clay mechanical behaviour, mechanisms occurring at the particle-scale still remain largely unknown.

Finite-Size Effects of Casimir–van der Waals Forces in the Self-Assembly of Nanoparticles
Physics, 2023 Casimir–van der Waals forces are important in the self-assembly processes of nanoparticles. In this paper, using a hybrid approach based on Lifshitz theory of Casimir–van der Waals interactions and corrections due to the shape of the nanoparticles, it is

Silver, copper and aluminium coatings for micro-material handling operations
South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2013 Micro-material handling has challenges accompanying it because of adhesive forces, which make the picking and placing of micro-parts difficult. The adhesive forces hinder the picking of a micro-part, and once picked, they pose even a greater challenge ...

Geometric nonlinear analysis of large rotation behavior of a curved SWCNT
International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2022 Nanotubes form clusters and are found in curved bundles in nanotube films and nanocomposites. Separation phenomenon is suspected to occur in these curved bundles.

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 ...
