Enhancement of non-contact friction between metal surfaces induced by the electrical double layer

Casimir and electrostatic non-contact friction between two gold plates, and a gold tip and a gold plate, are calculated taking into account the contribution of the electrical double layer. It is shown that in an extreme-near field (d<10nm) the contribution from the electrical double layer leads t...
