论文摘要
我们提出了一个批判性概述，该概述比较了根据各自的Hamaker常数在媒体中范德华分散力的理论预测和测量值。为了量化协议，我们将报道的实验误差与理论预测的实验误差进行补充，这是由于基础光谱数据中的不确定性所致。我们的主要发现是，理论错误通常大于其实验对应物。在这些不确定性中，比较基于亚伯拉罕电磁应力张量证实了标准的LIFSHITZ理论，该理论基于麦克斯韦应力张量，针对最近建议的替代账户。
We present a critical overview comparing theoretical predictions and measurements of Van der Waals dispersion forces in media on the basis of the respective Hamaker constants. To quantify the agreement, we complement the reported experimental errors with those for the theoretical predictions, which are due to uncertainties in the underlying spectroscopic data. Our main finding is that the theoretical errors are often larger than their experimental counterparts. Within these uncertainties, the comparison confirms the standard Lifshitz theory based on the Abraham electromagnetic stress tensor against the recently suggested alternative account on the basis of the Maxwell stress tensor.
