Fundamentals of van der Waals and Casimir Interactions

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the derivation of van der Waals and Casimir type dispersion forces, this book explores interactions among various scales of objects, from atoms to macroscopic entities. It provides comprehensive methods for determining normal modes and interactions in layered systems, including planar, spherical, and cylindrical geometries. Notably, it incorporates two-dimensional materials like graphene into its analysis, making it a valuable resource for understanding complex interactions in diverse physical contexts.
