This book presents a self-contained derivation of van der Waals and
Casimir type dispersion forces, covering the interactions between
two atoms but also between microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic
objects of various shapes and materials. It also presents detailed
and general prescriptions for finding the normal modes and the
interactions in layered systems of planar, spherical and
cylindrical types, with two-dimensional sheets, such as graphene
incorporated in the formalism. A detailed derivation of the van der
Waals force and Casimir-Polder force between two polarizable atoms
serves as the starting point for the discussion of forces:
Dispersion forces, of van der Waals and Casimir type, act on bodies
of all size, from atoms up to macroscopic objects. The smaller the
object the more these forces dominate and as a result they play a
key role in modern nanotechnology through effects such as stiction.
They show up in almost all fields of science, including physics,
chemistry, biology, medicine, and even cosmology. Written by a
condensed matter physicist in the language of condensed matter
physics, the book shows readers how to obtain the electromagnetic
normal modes, which for metallic systems, is especially useful in
the field of plasmonics.
