Abstract

In this paper, we use complex variable techniques to analyze the surface instability of a harmonic solid attracted by a rigid body through the influence of van der Waals forces. Our results indicate that the surface of the solid is always unstable, and the parameter α, characterizing the solid, plays an important role in its surface instability.
