Fundamentals of van der Waals and Casimir Interactions by Bo E. SerneliusEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2018 | 418 Pages | ISBN : 3319998307 | 38.81 MB
This book presents a self-contained derivation of van der Waals and Casimir type dispersion forces, covering the interactions between two atoms but also between microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic objects of various shapes and materials. It also presents detailed and general prescriptions for finding the normal modes and the interactions in layered systems of planar, spherical and cylindrical types, with two-dimensional sheets, such as graphene incorporated in the formalism.
