摘要:

由电磁涨落引起的相互作用,如范德华力和卡西米尔力,具有普遍的性质,存在于任何类型的有限维系统之间的任何长度尺度上。这种相互作用不仅对材料行为的基础科学很重要,而且对微米和纳米结构器件的设计和改进也很重要。在过去的十年中,许多新材料已经成为可用的,这刺激了需要了解它们的色散相互作用。范德华力和卡西米尔力领域在发展新的理论和计算方法以提供相关现象的新见解方面经历了推动。对这种力的理解具有深远的影响,因为它连接了材料、原子和分子物理学、凝聚态物理、高能物理学、化学和生物学中的概念。在这篇综述中,我们总结了重大突破,并强调范德华力和卡西米尔相互作用的共同起源。我们研究进展相关的新的从头计算建模方法及其在各种系统中的应用,在材料中的相互作用与Dirac-like光谱,力操纵通过非平凡的边界条件,和范德华力在有机和生物物质中的应用。展望的评论是给科学界的范德瓦尔斯和卡西米尔现象的材料的角度来看,并刺激实验技术和应用的发展。

英文摘要:

Interactions induced by electromagnetic fluctuations, such as van der Waals and Casimir forces, are of universal nature present at any length scale between any types of systems with finite dimensions. Such interactions are important not only for the fundamental science of materials behavior, but also for the design and improvement of micro- and nano-structured devices. In the past decade, many new materials have become available, which has stimulated the need of understanding their dispersive interactions. The field of van der Waals and Casimir forces has experienced an impetus in terms of developing novel theoretical and computational methods to provide new insights in related phenomena. The understanding of such forces has far reaching consequences as it bridges concepts in materials, atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, high energy physics, chemistry and biology. In this review, we summarize major breakthroughs and emphasize the common origin of van der Waals and Casimir interactions. We examine progress related to novel ab initio modeling approaches and their application in various systems, interactions in materials with Dirac-like spectra, force manipulations through nontrivial boundary conditions, and applications of van der Waals forces in organic and biological matter. The outlook of the review is to give the scientific community a materials perspective of van der Waals and Casimir phenomena and stimulate the development of experimental techniques and applications.
