Description for Dispersion Forces II: Many-Body Effects, Excited Atoms, Finite Temperature and Quantum Friction (Springer Tracts in Modern Physics)
Hardcover. This book offers a unified theory of dispersion forces on atoms and bodies that spans scenarios, considers such material properties as absorption and is flexible enough to be broadly applied. Vol 2 covers quantum electrodynamics, dispersion forces and more. Series: Springer Tracts in Modern Physics. Num Pages: 330 pages, 34 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHK; PHM; PHQ; PNFC; TBN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 163 x 24. Weight in Grams: 622.
In this book, a modern unified theory of dispersion forces on atoms and bodies is presented which covers a broad range of different aspects and scenarios. Macroscopic quantum electrodynamics is applied within the context of dispersion forces. In contrast to the normal-mode quantum electrodynamics traditionally used to study dispersion forces, the new approach allows to consider realistic material properties including absorption and is flexible enough to be applied to a broad range of geometries. Thus general properties of dispersion forces like their non-additivity and the relation between microscopic and macroscopic dispersion forces are discussed. It is demonstrated how the general ...
