It is shown that in fluctuation-electromagnetic phenomena (Casimir force, Casimir friction, radiative heat generation) for a spherical nanoparticle with a radius $R$ rotating near a surface a singular resonance can occur, near which…
The Casimir energies for plate-sphere system and sphere-sphere system under PFA in the presence of one extra compactified universal dimension are analyzed. We find that the Casimir energy between a plate and a sphere in the case of…
Optical coupling of two identical dielectric particles gives rise to bonding and anti-bonding resonances. The latter is featured by significant narrowing of the resonant width and strong enhancement of the $Q$ factor for the high index…
In our study we investigate the behaviour of the net force (NF) emerging between an ellipsoidal particle and a thick plate (slab), when the interaction takes place in a near critical fluid medium with account for the omnipresent van der…
At a macroscopic level, concepts such as top spin, back spin and rolling are commonly used to describe the collision of balls and surfaces. Each term refers to an aspect of the coupling of rotational motion during the collision of a…
The out-of-thermal-equilibrium Casimir-Polder force between nanoparticles and dielectric substrates coated with gapped graphene is considered in the framework of the Dirac model using the formalism of the polarization tensor. This is an…
We consider a random diffusion dynamics for an infinite system of hard spheres of two different sizes evolving in $\mathbb{R}^d$, its reversible probability measure, and its projection on the subset of the large spheres. The main feature is…
The Casimir surface force density F on a dielectric dilute spherical ball of radius a, surrounded by a vacuum, is calculated at zero temperature. We treat (n-1) (n being the refractive index) as a small parameter. The dispersive properties…
Mesoscopic particles immersed in a critical fluid experience long-range Casimir forces due to critical fluctuations. Using field theoretical methods, we investigate the Casimir interaction between two spherical particles and between a…
For distances less 10 nm, a total energy transfer occurs from a quantum emitter to a nearby metallic surface, producing evanescent surface waves that are plasmonic in nature. When investigating a metallic nanohole supported on an optically…
The proximity force approximation (PFA) relates the interaction between closely spaced, smoothly curved objects to the force between parallel plates. Precision experiments on Casimir forces necessitate, and spur research on, corrections to…
The advances in cold atom experiments have allowed construction of confining traps in the form of curved surfaces. This opens up the possibility of studying quantum gases in curved manifolds. On closed surfaces, many fundamental processes…
A metal film supports the continuum of propagating surface plasmon waves. The interaction of these waves with a dipole (nanoparticle) positioned some distance from the surface of the film can produce well defined localized plasmon modes…
We investigate experimentally and theoretically thin layers of colloid particles held adjacent to a solid substrate by gravity. Epifluorescence, confocal, and holographic microscopy, combined with Monte Carlo and hydrodynamic simulations,…
A field excited by an emitter can be enhanced due to presence of closely located inclusions. In this paper we consider such field enhancement when inclusions are disks of the same radii, and the emitter is of dipole type and located in the…
Recent experiments have shown that spatial dispersion may have a conspicuous impact on the response of plasmonic structures. This suggests that in some cases the Drude model should be replaced by more advanced descriptions that take spatial…
This work explores the lift force experienced by a particle moving in a viscous fluid near a liquid-liquid interface. The lift force is induced by the interaction between the viscous flow generated by the particle's motion and the…
Diffusion of colloidal particles in a complex environment such as polymer networks or biological cells is a topic of high complexity with significant biological and medical relevance. In such situations, the interaction between the…
We perform extensive Monte Carlo simulations of binary hard-sphere mixtures (with diameter ratios of 5 and 10), to determine the entropic force between (1) a macrosphere and a hard wall, and (2) a pair of macrospheres. The microsphere…
We derive analytic expressions for force propagation in packings of frictionless discs with a narrow distribution of disc sizes, by expanding to first order about the known ordered solution. The distribution of contact forces P(f) is found…
