Discrete aqueous solvent effects and possible attractive forces
We study discrete solvent effects on the interaction of two parallel charged surfaces in ionic aqueous solution. These effects are taken into account by adding a bilinear nonlocal term to the free energy of Poisson–Boltzmann theory. We study numerically the density profile of ions between the two plates, and the resulting interplate pressure. At large plate separations the two plates are decoup...
متن کاملAttractive Casimir forces in a closed geometry.
We study the Casimir force acting on a conducting piston with arbitrary cross section. We find the exact solution for a rectangular cross section and the first three terms in the asymptotic expansion for small height to width ratio when the cross section is arbitrary. Though weakened by the presence of the walls, the Casimir force turns out to be always attractive. Claims of repulsive Casimir f...
متن کاملAttractive optical forces from blackbody radiation.
Blackbody radiation around hot objects induces ac Stark shifts of the energy levels of nearby atoms and molecules. These shifts are roughly proportional to the fourth power of the temperature and induce a force decaying with the third power of the distance from the object. We explicitly calculate the resulting attractive blackbody optical dipole force for ground state hydrogen atoms. Surprising...
متن کاملAttractive Surface Forces due to Liquid
The force between two inert, planar surfaces in a liquid is discussed, focusing on the e ect of the reduction in the uid density between the surfaces. We use a density functional treatment of the uid, the results of which are veri ed by comparison with Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Our calculations reveal the existence of an attractive force between the surfaces, which at short and i...
متن کاملHydration interactions: aqueous solvent effects in electric double layers
A model for ionic solutions with an attractive short-range pair interaction between the ions is presented. The short-range interaction is accounted for by adding a quadratic nonlocal term to the Poisson-Boltzmann free energy. The model is used to study solvent effects in a planar electric double layer. The counterion density is found to increase near the charged surface, as compared with the Po...
