We consider the van der Waals energy of an atom near the infinitely thin sphere with finite conductivity which model the fullerene. We put the sphere into spherical cavity inside the infinite dielectric media, then calculate the energy of…
Within the frame of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics in causal media, the van der Waals interaction between an atomic system and an arbitrary arrangement of dispersing and absorbing dielectric bodies including metals is studied. It is…
The dependence of the energy of interwall interaction in double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNT) on the relative position of walls has been calculated using the density functional method. This dependence is used to evaluate forces that are…
The synthesis of one-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures was realized recently, which opens up new possibilities for prospective applications in electronics and optoelectronics. The even reduced dimension will enable novel properties…
UHV dynamic force and energy dissipation spectroscopy in non-contact atomic force microscopy were used to probe specific interactions with composite systems formed by encapsulating inorganic compounds inside single-walled carbon nanotubes.…
The atomic dipole polarizability, $\alpha$, and the van der Waals (vdW) radius, $R_{\rm vdW}$, are two key quantities to describe vdW interactions between atoms in molecules and materials. Until now, they have been determined independently…
We show that the usual sum of $R^{-6}$ contributions from elements separated by distance $R$ can give \emph{qualitatively} wrong results for the electromagnetically non-retarded van der Waals interaction between non-overlapping bodies. This…
We use an atom-atom potential between carbon atoms to obtain an interaction potential between nanotubes (assumed rigid), thereby calculating the cohesive energy of a bunch of nanotubes in hexagonal two dimensional packing. The model…
The van der Waals interactions between two parallel graphitic nanowiggles (GNWs) are calculated using the coupled dipole method (CDM). The CDM is an efficient and accurate approach to determine such interactions explicitly by taking into…
The separation of carbon dioxide CO$_2$ from nitrogen gas (N$_2$), the main component of flue gas, has become an emerging action to mitigate climate change. Feasible and efficient approaches to exploring the separation properties of…
When sheets of layered material like C, WS$_2$ or BN are restricted to finite sizes, they generally form single- and multi-walled hollow nanoparticles in order to avoid dangling bonds. Using continuum approaches to model elastic deformation…
On the basis of a general formula obtained earlier via fourth-order erturbation theory within the framework of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics, the van der Waals potential between two neutral, unpolarized, ground-state atoms in the…
We obtained new nonrelativistic expression for the dynamical van der Waals atom -surface interaction energy of very convenient form for different applications. It is shown that classical result (Ferrell and Ritchie, 1980) holds only for a…
The van der Waals potential of two atoms in the presence of an arbitrary arrangement of dispersing and absorbing magnetodielectric bodies is studied. Starting from a polarizable atom placed within a given geometry, its interaction with a…
The interlayer gallery between two adjacent sheets of van der Waals materials is expected to modify properties of atoms and molecules confined at the atomic interfaces. Here, we directly image individual hydrogen atom intercalated between…
We study the interfacial structure, stability, and elastic properties of composite carbon films containing nanotubes. Our Monte Carlo simulations show that Van der Waals forces play a vital role in shaping up the interfacial geometry,…
We propose a new approach to calculate van der Waals forces between nanoparticles where the van der Waals energy can be reduced to the energy of elementary surface plasmon oscillations in nanoparticles. The general theory is applied to…
We use an ab-initio approach to design and study a novel two-dimensional material - a planar array of carbon nanotubes separated by an optimal distance defined by the van der Waals interaction. We show that the energy spectrum for an array…
This work investigates the mechanical response of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) coupled through van der Waals and electrostatic forces using molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and a continuum model. In MD simulations, the covalent…
We develop a quantum theory of near-field electrodynamical properties of carbon nanotubes and investigate spontaneous decay dynamics of excited states and van der Waals attraction of the ground state of an atomic system close to a…
