Abstract
The structural and total interaction potentials of the vacuum space between two dielectric quartz crystal slabs of symmetric volume features but asymmetric surface features were calculated with Green’s function applied to the non-local Poisson equation.
The influence of the microscopic (atomic) structure of the surfaces and variation of the interslab width were assessed. Widths lower than 10 Å and certain co-influence of microscopic atom structures were found to increase the structural component of the total potential by forming lateral superlattices in the vacuum space with parameters exceeding the values of each dielectric surface.
