Experimental Verifications of the Casimir Attractive Force between Solid Bodies
A brief review of the recent experimental verifications of the Casimir force between extended bodies is presented. With modern techniques, it now appears feasible to test the force law with precision better than 1%; I will address the issues relating to the theoretical interpretation of experiments at this level of accuracy.
متن کاملCasimir force on a piston
We consider a massless scalar field obeying Dirichlet boundary conditions on the walls of a two-dimensional L×b rectangular box, divided by a movable partition (piston) into two boxes of dimensions a × b and (L − a) × b. We compute the Casimir force on the piston in the limit L → ∞. Regardless the value of a/b, the piston is attracted to the nearest end of the box. Asymptotic expressions for th...

that the quantum fluctuations of an electromagnetic field, so-called zero-point fluctuations, give rise to an attractive force between objects 1. This force is a particularly striking consequence of the quantum theory of electrodynamics (for a review, see ref. 2). Casimir's calculations were idealized — he considered two perfectly conducting parallel plates at absolute-zero temperature — but th...
متن کاملPulsating Casimir force
Based on the Lifshitz theory we show that the illumination of one (Si) plate in the three-layer systems Au–ethanol–Si, Si–ethanol–Si and α-Al2O3–ethanol– Si with laser pulses can change the Casimir attraction to Casimir repulsion and vice versa. The proposed effect opens novel opportunities in nanotechnology to actuate the periodic movement in electroand optomechanical micromachines based entir...
متن کاملCasimir force between dispersive magnetodielectrics
We extend our approach to the Casimir effect between absorbing dielectric multilayers [M. S. Tomaš, Phys. Rev. A 66, 052103 (2002)] to magnetodielectric systems. The resulting expression for the force is used to numerically explore the effect of the medium dispersion on the attractive/repulsive force in a metal-magnetodielectric system described by the Drude-Lorentz permittivities and permeabil...
