We consider a single slight protuberance in a perfectly conducting plane and investigate the
van der Waals (vdW) interaction between this surface and a neutral polarizable particle …

Recently, it was shown that when a single protuberance is introduced on an infinite flat
conducting surface, an anisotropic particle, kept constrained to move on a plane above the …

In a recent paper, it was shown that, under the action of the lateral van der Waals (vdW)
force due to a perfectly conducting corrugated surface, a neutral anisotropic polarizable …

We theoretically investigate the quantum reflection of different atoms by two-dimensional
(2D) materials of the graphene family (silicene, germanene, and stanene), subjected to an …

We investigate the lateral van der Waals (vdW) force between an anisotropic polarizable
particle and a perfectly conducting plane with a hemispherical protuberance with radius R …

In this paper, we present a systematic approach to building useful time-dependent effective
Hamiltonians in molecular quantum electrodynamics. The method is based on considering …

In electromagnetism courses, students often solve Poisson's equation for a point charge in
the presence of an infinitely large perfectly conducting planar surface, usually by the method …

We investigate, by means of the scattering approach, the Casimir-Polder interaction
between a neutral anisotropic polarizable particle and a corrugated surface made of a …

In the literature, it has been shown that between a neutral polarizable particle and a
conducting plane surface arises an attractive dispersive force. A change on this geometry …

Problems involving boundary conditions on corrugated surfaces are relevant to understand
nature, since, at some scale, surfaces manifest corrugations that have to be taken into …
