- Abstract summary: We study the Casimir-Lifshitz force between a gold plate and a graphene-covered grating.
We find a significant enhancement in the CLF as compared to a mere dielectric slab coated with graphene, over a wide range of temperatures.
We demonstrate that the CLF depends strongly on the chemical potential of graphene, with maximal effects observed at lower filling fractions.

- Abstract: We study the Casimir-Lifshitz force (CLF) between a gold plate and a graphene-covered dielectric grating. Using a scattering matrix (S-matrix) approach derived from the Fourier Modal Method (FMM), we find a significant enhancement in the CLF as compared to a mere dielectric slab coated with graphene, over a wide range of temperatures. Additionally, we demonstrate that the CLF depends strongly on the chemical potential of graphene, with maximal effects observed at lower filling fractions. Finally, we analyse the Casimir force gradient between a gold sphere and a graphene-coated dielectric grating, highlighting potential avenues for experimental measurements.

We investigate the Casimir-Lifshitz force (CLF) between two identical graphene strip gratings.
We take into account the high-order electromagnetic diffractions, the multiple scattering and the exact 2D feature of the graphene strips.
We show that the non-additivity, which is one of the most interesting features of the CLF in general, is significantly high and can be modulated in situ.

We experimentally study thermopower in high-quality monolayer graphene within heterostructures consisting of complete hBN encapsulation and 1D edge contacts.
We show that the temperature dependence of the thermopower enables the assessment of the role of built-in strain variation and van Hove singularities.
We show the same superlattice device can exhibit a temperature-driven thermopower reversal from positive to negative and vice versa, by controlling the carrier density.
