For the three liquids considered in this work, water, $CCl_3F$ and $ CBr_3F$ the change in the Drude parameters of the metal imply a difference of up to 15% in the determination of the force at short separations. These variations in the force is bigger for liquids with a higher index of refraction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-05-25T01:13:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "78.20.Ci" ], "keywords": [ "lifshitz-van der waals force", "variations", "drude parameters", "refraction" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "Journal of Chemical Physics", "doi": "10.1063/1.3427586", "year": 2010, "month": "May", "volume": 132, "number": 19, "pages": 4707 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010JChPh.132s4707E" } } }
