Novel constraints on light elementary particles and extra-dimensional physics from the Casimir effect (2007, methodology): “The oscillator fits are shown as long-dashed line [42,43] (DESY data, 3 oscillators) and as short-dashed line (6 oscillators).”
Stabilization of Nanoscale Quasi-Liquid Interfacial Films in Inorganic Materials: A Review and Critical Assessment (2007, background): “237 For an IGF of a symmetric flat geometry, the dispersion interaction is then which is always attractive (A 121 > 0).”
The JKR-type adhesive contact problems for power-law shaped axisymmetric punches (2014, background): “The distinction of these forces is somewhat artiﬁcial, because all of these forces are electrical in nature (Deryagin et al. 1978, Parsegian 2005 ), however, this distinction is very convenient because the values of energy of interactions are rather diﬀerent.”
Casimir Forces and Quantum Electrodynamical Torques: Physics and Nanomechanics (2007, background): “Such a mechanism is responsible for many phenomena in the nonretarded regime including the surface melting of solids [81] and the vertical ascent of liquid helium within a container (see, for example, the discussion in [28]).”
