The Fractal Structure of Matter and the Casimir Effect
The zero-point radiation is an electromagnetic form of energy pervading the universe. Its existence is granted by standard quantum theories. We provide here an explanation based on deterministic classical electrodynamics, by associating to particles and nuclei a series of shells, made of constrained photons, with frequencies decaying with the distance. Such photons are part of a pre-existing ba...
متن کاملRatchet Effects in Active Matter Systems
Ratchet effects can arise for single or collectively interacting Brownian particles on an asymmetric substrate when a net dc transport is produced by an externally applied ac driving force or by periodically flashing the substrate. Recently, a new class of active ratchet systems has been realized through the use of active matter, which are self-propelled units that can be biological or non-biol...
متن کاملActive microrheology in active matter systems: Mobility, intermittency, and avalanches.
We examine the mobility and velocity fluctuations of a driven particle moving through an active matter bath of self-mobile disks for varied density or area coverage and varied activity. We show that the driven particle mobility can exhibit nonmonotonic behavior that is correlated with distinct changes in the spatiotemporal structures that arise in the active media. We demonstrate that the probe...
متن کاملStiction, adhesion energy, and the Casimir effect in micromechanical systems
We measure the adhesion energy of gold using a micromachined cantilever beam. Stress and stiffness of the beam are characterized by measuring the spectrum of mechanical vibrations and the deflection due to external force. We induce stiction between the beam and a nearby surface, employing capillary forces to determine the adhesion energy g . The obtained value g50.06 J/m is a factor of 6 smalle...
متن کاملMetastability and the Casimir effect in micromechanical systems
– Electrostatic and Casimir interactions limit the range of positional stability of electrostatically actuated or capacitively coupled mechanical devices. We investigate this range experimentally for a generic system consisting of a doubly clamped Au suspended beam, capacitively coupled to an adjacent stationary electrode. The mechanical properties of the beam, both in the linear and nonlinear ...
