How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Materials perspective on Casimir and van der Waals interactions (2015, background): “The presence of multiple scattering, otherwise absent in the limit of weak coupling or dilute media (Milton et al., 2008), has long been known to significantly modify the underlying two-body force laws (Axilrod and Teller, 1943).”
Bending Rigidity of Two-Dimensional Titanium Carbide (MXene) Nanoribbons: A Molecular Dynamics Study (2018, methodology): “with rij, r0, and e0 being the distance between atoms i and j, equilibrium distance, and the minimum energy at r0, respectively; and the three-body term expressed by Axilrod-Teller (AT) potential [42]”
Cavity Casimir-Polder Forces and Their Effects in Ground-State Chemical Reactivity (2018, background): “, van der Waals interactions between three emitters, appear in the intermolecular potential [47,106].”
Pair potentials for protein folding: Choice of reference states and sensitivity of predicted native states to variations in the interaction schemes (2008, background): “For hydrophobic residues a generalized Axilrod–Teller potential~Axilrod & Teller, 1943!, which is based on dipole interactions, may be adequate.”
A foundation model for atomistic materials chemistry. (2023, unknown): “DFT-D3 is an interatomic potential which uses tabulated values of atomic polarizabilities to describe two-body and, optionally, three-body Axilrod–Teller ( 132 ) dispersion interactions.”
