Works of adhesion W(Lifshitz) between hydrocarbon surfaces in 260 liquids were calculated using Lifshitz theory and compared with interaction free energies ∆∆G determined a model which the interactions molecule liquid are described by set surface site points (SSIP). The predictions these models diverge significant ways. Interaction SSIP approach typically small vary little, but contrast, yields works that span broad range. Moreover, also significantly different values some for which,...
Photolithography without optics: compression of nitrophenyl protecting groups under an atomic force microscope probe modifies their electronic structure and reduces the energy barrier to deprotection, enabling nanolithography UV light.

Lifshitz theory is widely used to calculate interfacial interaction energies and underpins established approaches the interpretation of measurement data from experimental methods including surface forces apparatus atomic force microscope. However, a significant limitation that it uses bulk dielectric properties medium predict work adhesion. Here, we demonstrate different approach, in which interactions between molecules at surfaces are described by set site points (SSIPs), yields free...
