A tutorial overview is given on interactions between atoms and surfaces that are mediated by the electromagnetic field. The emphasis is on dispersion (or van der Waals) forces and transitions induced by thermal fluctuations in the near…
Surface tension and wetting are dominating physical effects in micro and nanoscale flows. We present an efficient and reliable model of surface tension and equilibrium contact angles in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics for free-surface…

The aim of this work is to study the problem of the existence of a fundamental relation between the interfacial tension of a system of two partially miscible liquids and the surface tensions of the pure substances. It is shown that these…
This is a writeup of lectures given at the EPFL Lausanne in the fall of 2012. The topics covered: physical foundations of conformal symmetry, conformal kinematics, radial quantization and the OPE, and a very basic introduction to conformal…
I discuss some interesting classroom demonstrations of diamagnetism and how this effect can produce levitation. The possibilities for hands-on demonstrations of diamagnetic and superconducting levitation are discussed. To conclude I discuss…
These are lecture notes on the subject defined in the title. As such, they do not pretend to be really new, probably except for the only section about Poisson equations with potentials. Yet, the hope of the author is that they may serve as…
