Nanomaterials, such as metal or semiconductor nanoparticles and nanorods, exhibit similar
dimensions to those of biomolecules, such as proteins (enzymes, antigens, antibodies) or …

Abstract Metall‐oder Halbleiter‐Nanopartikel und Nanostäbchen haben ähnliche
Dimensionen wie Proteine (Enzyme, Antigene, Antikörper) oder DNA. Die Integration von …

This paper discusses recent developments on quantum electrodynamical (QED)
phenomena, such as the Casimir effect, and their use in nanomechanics and …

The transition of van der Waals to Casimir forces between macroscopic gold surfaces is
investigated by atomic force microscopy in the plane-sphere geometry. It was found that the …

The field of Nanotechnology, which aims at exploiting advances in the fabrication and
controlled manipulation of nanoscale objects, is attracting worldwide attention. This attention …

A novel non-classical continuum model for pull-in analysis of multilayer graphene sheets
(MLGSs) is developed to consider the effect of shear interaction between layers based on …

Capillary condensation between the electrodes of microswitches influences the effective pull-
in voltage in a manner that depends on the contact angle of the capillary meniscus and the …

The quantum theory for mesoscopic electric circuit with charge discreteness is briefly
described. The minibands of quasienergy in LC design mesoscopic electric circuit have …

In this work, we investigate the combined influence of electromagnetic and acoustic Casimir
forces on the pull-in voltage of microswitches with self-affine rough plates. It is shown that for …
