The procedure is applied to the radiative heat transfer and the van der Waals friction using both the semi-classical theory of the fluctuating electromagnetic field and quantum field theory. Applications of the radiative heat transfer and non-contact friction to scanning probe spectroscopy are presented. The theory gives a tentative explanation for the experimental non-contact friction data. The book explains that radiative heat transfer and the van der Waals friction are largely enhanced at short separations between the bodies due to the evanescent electromagnetic waves. Particular strong enhancement occurs if the surfaces of the bodies can support localized surface modes like surface plasmons, surface polaritons or adsorbate vibrational modes. An electromagnetic field outside a moving body can also be created by static charges which are always present on the surface of the body due to inhomogeneities, or due to a bias voltage. This electromagnetic field produces electrostatic friction which can be significantly enhanced if on the surface of the body there is a 2D electron or hole system or an incommensurate adsorbed layer of ions exhibiting acoustic vibrations.NanoScience and Technology,1434-4904NanotechnologyThermodynamicsHeat engineeringHeat transferMass transferMaterials scienceNanotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transferhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T14000Nanotechnology and Microengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T18000Thermodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21050Characterization and Evaluation of Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z17000Nanotechnology.Thermodynamics.Heat engineering.Heat transfer.Mass transfer.Materials science.Nanotechnology.Engineering Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer.Nanotechnology and Microengineering.Thermodynamics.Characterization and Evaluation of Materials.620.115Volokitin Aleksandr Iauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut766748Persson Bo N.Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910254141003321Electromagnetic Fluctuations at the Nanoscale1992596UNINA
