What is "the disjoining pressure" and What is "the Hamaker function".
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Where did you read about these concepts ?
Can you give a reference to a text where they appeared ?

This paper might help to explain the Hamaker function (and Hamaker equation, Hamaker constants).
http://colloids.mse.uiuc.edu/research/acers_article.pdf

The process of EPD is described by Hamaker's equation, which relates the instantaneous yield rate with the electric field.

As for disjoining pressure - see "http://scitation.aip.org/getabs/servlet/GetabsServlet?prog=normal&id=JAPIAU000098000012124906000001&idtype=cvips&gifs=yes "

Also see - Lifsh!tz theory (where ! = i, in order to avoid auto-censor :rolleyes:)

van der Waals Interaction, Surface Free Energies, and Contact Angles: Dispersive Polymers and Liquids
http://www.ms.unimelb.edu.au/~dyc/pdfs/115.pdf

which mentions Lifsh!tz theory and Hamaker equation and constants.

See also - On the calculation of disjoining pressure isotherms for nonaqueous films.

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
