Van der Waals (VDW) interactions are probably the most basic type of interaction imaginable Any two molecules experience Van der Waals interactions Even macroscopic surfaces experience VDW interactions, but more of this later The physical process that leads to Van der Waals interactions is clear, but it is difficult to
bound van der Waals complexes containing atoms with nonzero electronic orbital angular momentum in a mag-netic ?eld when transitions to lower magnetic levels re-lease enough energy to break the van der Waals bond The predissociation is due to coupling between different Zeeman energy levels of the complex We show that the
dry spots and eventually break into droplets Ruckenstein & Jain (1974) developed a model for the van der Waals force between a uniform ?lm and a substrate, and used linear stability theory to show that such ?lms are vulnerable to rupture through long-wave instability As the instability grows, the nonlinear behaviour leads to
forces can exist for two materials immersed in a fluid a, The interaction between material 1 and material 2 immersed in a fluid (material 3) is repulsive when b, The optical properties of gold (1), bromobenzene (3) and Silica (2) are such that this inequality is satisfied
Forces Factors Affecting London Forces • The shape of the molecule affects the strength of dispersion forces: long, skinny molecules (like n-pentane tend to have stronger dispersion forces than short, fat ones (like neopentane) • This is due to the increased surface area in n-pentane that allows the molecules to make contact over the
