Lateral Casimir-Polder force with corrugated surfaces
We derive the lateral Casimir-Polder force on a ground state atom on top of a corrugated surface, up to first order in the corrugation amplitude. Our calculation is based on the scattering approach, which takes into account nonspecular reflections and polarization mixing for electromagnetic quantum fluctuations impinging on real materials. We compare our first order exact result with two common...
متن کاملModeling noncontact atomic force microscopy resolution on corrugated surfaces
Key developments in NC-AFM have generally involved atomically flat crystalline surfaces. However, many surfaces of technological interest are not atomically flat. We discuss the experimental difficulties in obtaining high-resolution images of rough surfaces, with amorphous SiO(2) as a specific case. We develop a quasi-1-D minimal model for noncontact atomic force microscopy, based on van der Wa...
متن کاملSpectral theory of corrugated surfaces
This paper is a brief review of the program initiated some years ago in [JMP]. The main goal of this program is to understand the formation and the propagation properties of surface states in regions with corrugated boundaries. The history of this problem and its physical aspects are discussed in [JMP, KP]. The results described in this review are obtained in collaborations with Yoram Last and ...
متن کاملActive steering along corrugated surfaces
To date, research on the visual control of locomotion, or optic flow, has been treated largely as a computational problem wherein formal descriptions are sought to character-ise the change in the image pattern on the retina that results from observer translation with concomitant eye rotation (se Lappe et al 1999, for details). Various models have been proposed (see Hildreth and Royden 1998, for...
متن کاملLateral Force Microscopy Study of the Friction between Silica Surfaces.
The friction between a single silica glass sphere and a flat silica glass surface has been investigated using lateral force microscopy. Two types of silica surface were investigated, one fully hydroxylated and the other partially dehydroxlated. These samples have markedly different wetting properties and are known as hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica, respectively. The lateral friction force a...
