Rotational quantum friction.
We investigate the frictional forces due to quantum fluctuations acting on a small sphere rotating near a surface. At zero temperature, we find the frictional force near a surface to be several orders of magnitude larger than that for the sphere rotating in vacuum. For metallic materials with typical conductivity, quantum friction is maximized by matching the frequency of rotation with the cond...
متن کاملrehabilitation of steel structures by using the rotational friction dampers
the rotational friction dampers can be improved the seismic behavior of the steel structures, and they can be reduced the internal forces in the bracing members, columns and the other structural members. in this research, a simple method for modeling and analysis of braced frames equipped by these dampers is proposed. the proposed model describes seismic behavior of dampers very well and it is ...
متن کاملQuantum friction–fact or fiction?
Two parallel dielectric plates separated by vacuum interact through zero-point charge fluctuations and experience friction when the plates are in relative motion and the vacuum is sheared. Even at the absolute zero of temperature, residual quantum fluctuations remain because the zero-point energy gives rise to ‘quantum friction’. In a recent paper, the reality of these fluctuations is questione...
متن کاملShearing the vacuum—quantum friction
We consider two perfectly smooth featureless surfaces at T = 0, defined only by their respective dielectric functions, separated by a finite distance, and ask the question of whether they can experience any friction when sheared parallel to their interface. We find large frictional effects comparable to everyday frictional forces provided that the materials have resistivities of the order of 1 ...
متن کاملRotational Levels in Quantum Dots *
Low energy spectra of isotropic quantum dots are calculated in the regime of low electron densities where Coulomb interaction causes strong correlations. The earlier developed pocket state method is generalized to allow for continuous rotations. Detailed predictions are made for dots of shallow confinements and small particle numbers, including the occurance of spin blockades in transport.
