Description for Electromagnetic Fluctuations at the Nanoscale: Theory and Applications
Hardcover. Series: Nanoscience and Technology. Num Pages: 419 pages, 32 black & white illustrations, 61 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHH; PNFR; TBN; TGMB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This book provides a general formalism for the calculation of the spectral correlation function for the fluctuating electromagnetic field. The procedure is applied to the radiative heat transfer and the van der Waals friction using both the semi-classical theory of the fluctuating electromagnetic field and quantum field theory. Applications of the radiative heat transfer and non-contact friction to scanning probe spectroscopy are presented. The theory gives a tentative explanation for the experimental non-contact friction data. The book explains that radiative heat transfer and the van der Waals friction are largely enhanced at short separations between the bodies due ... Read more
