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

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.
