Casimir Force Control · 3D Nanostructure Apparatus

This module lets visitors change nanostructure geometry and watch the force-gradient curve move. It is the public modeling anchor for MaxwellX.

Source anchors

Controls

  • geometry: flat plate, circular pillar, hollow cylinder, pillar array, grating reference
  • separation
  • sphere radius
  • pillar radius
  • pillar height
  • array gap
  • material placeholder

Outputs

  • ideal plate baseline
  • sphere-plane PFA estimate
  • force-gradient trend
  • geometry ratio
  • curve comparison

Equation card

F_PFA(d) = ∫ P_plate-plate(H(x)) dA

Plain English:

Divide the geometry into local patches, calculate the plate-plate pressure at each local gap, integrate over the surface, and compare the predicted signature to measurement.

Public model fidelity

Educational Model.

Publication-grade modeling requires full material response, roughness, temperature, patch potentials, and full geometry treatment.

MaxwellX path

  1. Recreate published trends.
  2. Build a solver-grade model.
  3. Map artifact risks.
  4. Seek AFM/KPFM measurement through qualified facilities.
