Intermolecular Casimir-Polder Forces in Water and near Surfaces (1409.3988v1)
Published 13 Sep 2014 in cond-mat.mes-hall and physics.chem-ph
Abstract: The Casimir-Polder force is an important long range interaction involved in adsorption and desorption of molecules in fluids. We explore Casimir-Polder interactions between methane molecules in water, and between a molecule in water near SiO2 and hexane surfaces. Inclusion of the finite molecular size in the expression for the Casimir-Polder energy leads to estimates of the dispersion contribution to the binding energies between molecules and between one molecule and a planar surface.
