The Casimir interaction and torque are related phenomena originating from the exchange of electromagnetic excitations between objects. While the Casimir force exists between all types of objects, the material or geometrical anisotropy drives the emergence of the Casimir torque. Here both phenomena are studied theoretically between dielectric films with immersed parallel single-wall carbon nanotubes in the dilute limit with their chirality and collective electronic and optical response properties taken into account. It is found that the Casimir interaction is dominated by thermal fluctuations at submicron separations, while the torque is primarily determined by quantum mechanical effects. This peculiar quantum vs thermal separation is attributed to the strong influence of the reduced dimensionality and inherent anisotropy of the materials. Our study suggests that nanostructured anisotropic materials can serve as novel platforms to uncover new functionalities in ubiquitous Casimir phenomena.

Twisted bilayered graphenes (TBGs) at magic angles are systems housing long ranged periodicity of moiré patterns together with short ranged periodicity associated with the individual graphenes. Such materials are a fertile ground for novel states largely driven by electronic correlations. Here we find that the ubiquitous Casimir force can serve as a platform for macroscopic manifestations of the quantum effects stemming from the magic angle bilayered graphenes properties and their phases determined by electronic correlations. By utilizing comprehensive calculations for the electronic and optical response, we find that Casimir torque can probe anisotropy from the Drude conductivities in nematic states, while repulsion in the Casimir force can help identify topologically nontrivial phases in magic angle TBGs.

A hydrogen atom in a constant magnetic field is a problem whose Schrödinger equation has been considered to be analytically unsolvable. However, it has been found for the case of two-dimensional space some specific values of the magnetic field for which the problem has analytical solutions. In this paper, we give a full theory for these analytical solutions. First, we construct an equation to calculate of exact-solution-points, the values of magnetic field which allow exact solutions for the Schrödinger equation. The explicit forms of the wave functions corresponding to these analytical solutions are also given. Second, we analyse the exact-solution-points and discover some important rules. (i) There exist (n − 1)2 different values of the magnetic field so that the Schrödinger equation of a two-dimensional hydrogen atom in such field has exact analytical solutions with the principal quantum number n. (ii) For more details, among these (n − 1)2 exact analytical solutions, there are nr=n−|m|−1 solutions with the same magnetic quantum number m. Both properties are also proved mathematically in this paper. For illustration, some concrete values are shown for the cases of quantum number n up to 8.
