Dataset for the published article "Retarded room temperature Hamaker coefficients between bulk elemental metals"

The data contained in the zip files constitute the main research data of the publication entitled as "Retarded room temperature Hamaker coefficients between bulk elemental metals". They are provided in a txt file format. "Identical metals in vacuum.zipOpens in a new tab" contains the room temperature Hamaker coefficients between 26 identical elemental polycrystalline metals that are embedded in vacuum computed from the full Lifshitz theory as a function of the separation of the metallic semi-spaces within 0-200nm. The employed discretization scheme is the following: for l = 0 − 1 nm, \(\Delta{l}=0.1\,nm\) which corresponds to 11 data points, for l = 1−200 nm: \(\Delta{l}=1\,nm\) which corresponds to 200 data points. The computation of the imaginary argument dielectric function of metals is based on the full spectral method combined with a Drude model low frequency extrapolation technique which has been implemented with input from extended-in-frequency dielectric data that range from the far infra-red region to the soft X-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. "Identical metals in water (Fiedler et al).zip" contains the room temperature Hamaker coefficients between 26 identical elemental polycrystalline metals that are embedded in pure water computed from the full Lifshitz theory as a function of the separation of the metallic semi-spaces within 0-200nm. The employed discretization scheme is the following: for l = 0 − 1 nm, \(\Delta{l}=0.1\,nm\) which corresponds to 11 data points, for l = 1−200 nm: \(\Delta{l}=1\,nm\) which corresponds to 200 data points. The computation of the imaginary argument dielectric function of metals is based on the full spectral method combined with a Drude model low frequency extrapolation technique which has been implemented with input from extended-in-frequency dielectric data that range from the far infra-red region to the soft X-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The computation of the imaginary argument dielectric function of pure water is based on the simple spectral method which has been implemented with input from the Fiedler et al. dielectric parameterization. "Identical metals in water (Parsegian-Weiss).zip" contains the room temperature Hamaker coefficients between 26 identical elemental polycrystalline metals that are embedded in pure water computed from the full Lifshitz theory as a function of the separation of the metallic semi-spaces within 0-200nm. The employed discretization scheme is the following: for l = 0 − 1 nm, \(\Delta{l}=0.1\,nm\) which corresponds to 11 data points, for l = 1−200 nm: \(\Delta{l}=1\,nm\) which corresponds to 200 data points. The computation of the imaginary argument dielectric function of metals is based on the full spectral method combined with a Drude model low frequency extrapolation technique which has been implemented with input from extended-in-frequency dielectric data that range from the far infra-red region to the soft X-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The computation of the imaginary argument dielectric function of pure water is based on the simple spectral method which has been implemented with input from the Parsegian-Weiss dielectric parameterization. "Identical metals in water (Roth-Lenhoff).zip" contains the room temperature Hamaker coefficients between 26 identical elemental polycrystalline metals that are embedded in pure water computed from the full Lifshitz theory as a function of the separation of the metallic semi-spaces within 0-200nm. The employed discretization scheme is the following: for l = 0 − 1 nm, \(\Delta{l}=0.1\,nm\) which corresponds to 11 data points, for l = 1−200 nm: \(\Delta{l}=1\,nm\) which corresponds to 200 data points. The computation of the imaginary argument dielectric function of metals is based on the full spectral method combined with a Drude model low frequency extrapolation technique which has been implemented with input from extended-in-frequency dielectric data that range from the far infra-red region to the soft X-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The computation of the imaginary argument dielectric function of pure water is based on the simple spectral method which has been implemented with input from the Roth-Lenhoff dielectric parameterization. All Hamaker coefficients are given in zJ and all separations are given in nm.
