Casimir torques between anisotropic boundaries in nematic liquid crystals
The torque induced between bounding surfaces in nematic liquid crystals due to thermal fluctuations was reported. The existence of Casimir torque due to anisotropy in the shape of the objects immersed in the complex fluid depended on the relative orientation of these objects. The torques were calcul...
