Spherical-shell model for the van der Waals coefficients between fullerenes and/or nearly spherical nanoclusters.
Fullerene molecules such as C(60) are large nearly spherical shells of carbon atoms. Pairs of such molecules have a strong long-range van der Waals attraction that can produce scattering or binding into molecular crystals. A simplified classical-electrodynamics model for a fullerene is a spherical metal shell, with uniform electron density confined between outer and inner radii (just as a simpl...
متن کاملVan der Waals coefficients beyond the classical shell model.
Van der Waals (vdW) coefficients can be accurately generated and understood by modelling the dynamic multipole polarizability of each interacting object. Accurate static polarizabilities are the key to accurate dynamic polarizabilities and vdW coefficients. In this work, we present and study in detail a hollow-sphere model for the dynamic multipole polarizability proposed recently by two of the...
متن کاملVan der waals coefficients for nanostructures: fullerenes defy conventional wisdom.
The van der Waals coefficients between quasispherical nanostructures can be modeled accurately and analytically by those of classical solid spheres (for nanoclusters) or spherical shells (for fullerenes) of uniform valence electron density, with the true static dipole polarizability. Here, we derive analytically and confirm numerically from this model the size dependencies of the van der Waals ...
متن کاملFully retarded van der Waals interaction between dielectric nanoclusters.
The van der Waals (dispersion) interaction between an atom and a cluster or between two clusters at large separation is calculated by considering each cluster as a point particle, characterized by a polarizability tensor. For the extreme limit of very large separation, the fully retarded regime, one needs to know just the static polarizability in order to determine the interaction. This polariz...
متن کاملEfficiencies of Diffusing Spherical Particles : Hydrodynamic , Van Der Waals and Electrostatic Forces
I. ABSTRACT A practical 1 imitation ·of the application of Smoluchowski 1 s classical estimate for the collision probability of two diffusing spherical particles in Brownian motion is the non-consideration of interparticle forces. For suspended particles in water such forces can arise from the disturbance the particle causes in the fluid {hydrodynamic forces), from the cloud of ions which surro...
