Intermolecular forces at ice and water interfaces: Premelting, surface freezing, and regelation
J Luengo-Márquez, F Izquierdo-Ruiz… - The Journal of …, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
Using Lifshitz theory, we assess the role of van der Waals forces at interfaces of ice and
water. The results are combined with measured structural forces from computer simulations …

Ice particles sink below the water surface due to a balance of salt, van der Waals, and buoyancy forces
According to the classical Archimedes' principle, ice floats in water and has a fraction of its
volume above the water surface. However, for very small ice particles, other competing …

Fluid-sensitive nanoscale switching with quantum levitation controlled by -Sn/-Sn phase transition
We analyze the Lifshitz pressure between silica and tin separated by a liquid mixture of
bromobenzene and chlorobenzene. We show that the phase transition from semimetallic α …
