• Abstract: We find that thin peptide films and coatings doped with metallic nanoparticles are more stable due to the role of electromagnetic fluctuations. It is shown that for the doped freestanding in vacuum peptide film the Casimir attraction becomes larger in magnitude. For dielectric substrates coated with peptide films, the nanoparticle doping leads to a wider range of film thicknesses where the Casimir pressure is attractive and to larger pressure magnitudes at the points of extremum. The doping of peptide coatings with magnetic nanoparticles preserves all the advantages of nonmagnetic ones and simultaneously imparts superparamagnetic properties to the coating which could extend significantly the application areas of bioelectronics.

  Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) single photon emitters offer numerous advantages to quantum information applications. Traditional materials used for the fabrication of nanoresonators, such as silicon or gallium phosphide (GaP), often require a high refractive index substrate. Here, we use nanoantennas (NAs) fabricated from multilayer TMDs, which allow complete flexibility with the choice of substrate.

  Casimir forces, related to London-van der Waals forces, arise if the spectrum of electromagnetic fluctuations is restricted by boundaries. We experimentally investigate the influence of self-assembled molecular bio and organic thin films on the Casimir force between a plate and a sphere. We find that molecular thin films, despite being a mere few nanometers thick, reduce the Casimir force by up to 14%.

  We analyse the effect of a strong perpendicular magnetic field on an intersubband transition in a disordered doped quantum well strongly coupled to an optical cavity. The magnetic field changes the lineshape of the intersubband optical transition due to the roughness of the interface of the quantum well from a Lorentzian to a Gaussian one.
