Studium der van der Waals-Kraft im Bereich kleiner Abstände
The theory of Dzyaloshinskii allows us to calculate the van der Waals force acting between two surfaces which are held at a distance of 104 Å and less. This calculation was based on the experimentally determined absorption data of quarz. The deflection of a thin quarz plate which was supported at one end with a vaporized bar has been measured to verify the theoretical results. Within the range of accuracy a fair agreement could be reached.
