Substances with large intermolecular forces have fewer molecules escaping into the gas phase at a given temperature because ...

Modelling dispersion interactions with traditional density functional theory (DFT) is a challenge that has been extensively addressed in the past decade. The exchange-dipole moment (XDM), among others ...

The dispersion forces between atoms and nanostuctures have been measured by using a scanning probe microscope in which the tip is a confined gas of ultracold atoms. Dispersion forces operate on a wide ...
