Noncontact friction between nanostructures
We calculate the van der Waals friction between two semi-infinite solids in normal relative motion and find a drastic difference in comparison with the parallel relative motion. The case of good conductors is investigated in detail both within the local optic approximation and using a nonlocal optic dielectric approach. We show that the friction may increase by many orders of magnitude when the...
متن کاملThe Physics of Atom–Surface Interactions
In this lecture, an overview on interactions between atoms and surfaces is given that are mediated by the electromagnetic field. The emphasis is on dispersion (or van der Waals) forces and transitions induced by thermal fluctuations in the near field of a surface. Applications with cold atoms held in microscopic traps near surfaces, as outlined in the lecture by J. Schmiedmayer, provide the exp...
متن کاملAdsorbate-induced enhancement of electrostatic noncontact friction.
We study the noncontact friction between an atomic force microscope tip and a metal substrate in the presence of bias voltage. The friction is due to energy losses in the sample created by the electromagnetic field from the oscillating charges induced on the tip surface by the bias voltage. We show that the friction can be enhanced by many orders of magnitude if the adsorbate layer can support ...
متن کاملFriction-induced energy-loss rainbows in atom surface scattering.
The rainbow is due to extrema of the angular deflection function of light impinging on water drops. Generically, extrema of suitably defined deflection functions lead to rainbows. These include angular and rotational rainbows in surface scattering and more. Here we introduce the concept of an "energy-loss deflection function" for scattering of particles from a periodic surface whose extrema lea...
متن کاملDiagrammatic Approach to Cold Atom-Surface Interactions
We study the sticking rate of cold atoms on elastic membrane by exploring the self-energy Σ of the cold atom. We use the Feynman-Dyson perturbation theory to calculate the free atom self-energy to 1-loop. We find non-zero finite sticking rate Γ that agrees with the Golden rule result in ultra-low energy regime. However, with the 1-loop self-energy insertion, we find a suppressed sticking rate Γ...
