State-of-the-art superconducting qubits rely on a limited set of thin-film materials. Expanding their materials palette can improve performance, extend operating regimes, and introduce new functionalities, but conventional thin-film…

Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) allow the assembly of high-crystalline two-dimensional (2D) materials in order to explore dimensionality effects in strongly correlated systems and the emergence of potential new physical scenarios. In…

The modeling of conformations and dynamics of (bio)polymers is of primary importance for understanding physicochemical properties of soft matter. Although short-range interactions such as covalent and hydrogen bonding control the local…

We derive the complete form of the van der Waals dispersion interaction between two infinitely long anisotropic semiconducting/insulating thin cylinders at all separations. The derivation is based on the general theory of dispersion…

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are categorized into van der Waals (vdW) and non-vdW types. However, no relevant descriptors have been proposed for identifying the latter. Here, we identify the non-vdW 2D materials by calculating the…

van der Waals (vdW) interaction plays a fundamental role in the surface-molecules related phenomena. Tuning of the correlated charge fluctuation in the vdW complex is a plausible way to modulate the molecules interaction at the atomic…

We theoretically examined how the dielectric screening of two-dimensional layered materials affects the dipolar interaction between interlayer excitons in few-layer van der Waals structures. Our analysis indicates that the dipolar…

Quantum electromagnetic fluctuations induce forces between neutral particles, known as the van der Waals (vdW) and Casimir interactions. These fundamental forces, mediated by virtual photons from the vacuum, play an important role in basic…

We study the dependence of the heat transfer and the van der Waals friction between two semi-infinite solids on the dielectric properties of the bodies. We show that the heat transfer and van der Waals friction at short separation between…

The energy spectrum of the electromagnetic normal modes plays a central role in the theory of the van der Waals and Casimir interaction. In dissipative media it appears as if there are distinct normal modes with complex valued energies. The…

Working at the Lifshitz level, we investigate the van der Waals interactions across a series of layers with a periodic motif. We derive the complete form of the van der Waals interaction as an explicit function of the number of periodic…

Understanding the physics underlying energy dissipation is necessary for the effective thermal management of devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials and requires insights into the interplay between heat generation and diffusion in…

Recently, the nonlocal van der Waals (vdW) density functionals [M. Dion, H. Rydberg, E. Schroeder, D. C. Langreth, and B. I. Lundqvist, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)] have attracted considerable attention due to their good performance…

The origin of a chemical reaction between two reactant atoms is associated to the activation energy, with the assumption that, high-energy collisions between these atoms, are the ones that overcome the activation energy. Here, we (i) show…

The advent of graphene and other two-dimensional van der Waals materials, with their unique electrical, optical, and thermal properties, has resulted in tremendous progress for fundamental science. Recent developments suggest that taking…

We take a closer look at the fundamental Casimir-Polder interaction between quantum particles and dispersive dielectric surfaces with surface polariton or plasmon resonances. Linear response theory shows that in the near field, van der…

Exotic properties in single or few layers of van der Waals materials carry great promise for applications in nanoscaled electronics, optoelectronics and flexible devices. The established, distinct examples include extremely high mobility…

We present an approach to describing fluctuational electrodynamic (FED) interactions, particularly van der Waals (vdW) interactions as well as radiative heat transfer (RHT), between material bodies of vastly different length scales,…

The study of van der Waals (vdW) materials has seen increased interest in recent years, due to the wide range of uses for these materials because of their unique mechanical, electronic, and optical properties. This area has recently…

We compute the $T=0K$ Van der Waals (nonretarded Casimir) interaction energy $E$ between two infinitely long, crossed conducting wires separated by a minimum distance $D$ much greater than their radius. We find that, up to a logarithmic…
