Finite-temperature Casimir effect for graphene

Dynamical casimir effect at finite temperature

Thermal effects on the creation of particles under the influence of time-dependent boundary conditions are investigated. The dominant temperature correction to the energy radiated by a moving mirror is derived by means of response theory. For a resonantly vibrating cavity the thermal effect on the number of created photons is obtained nonperturbatively. Finite temperatures can enhance the pure ...

Casimir effect for a dilute dielectric ball at finite temperature

The Casimir effect at finite temperature is investigated for a dilute dielectric ball; i.e., the relevant internal and free energies are calculated. The starting point in this study is a rigorous general expression for the internal energy of a system of noninteracting oscillators in terms of the sum over the Matsubara frequencies. Summation over the angular momentum values is accomplished in a ...

Finite Temperature Casimir Effect in Kaluza-klein Spacetime

Abstract. In this article, we consider the finite temperature Casimir effect in Kaluza-Klein spacetime due the the vacuum fluctuation of massless scalar field with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We consider the general case where the extra dimensions (internal space) can be any compact connected manifold or orbifold without boundaries. Using piston analysis, we show that the Casimir force is al...

Finite-temperature pseudospin torque effect in graphene bilayers

We use self-consistent quantum transport theory to investigate the influence of layer Fermi energy and temperature on the interlayer transport properties of bilayer graphene in the regime of excitonic superfluidity. We conclude that at low temperature the critical tunneling currents and quasiparticle penetration depths are well explained by the existing zero-temperature pseudospin torque model....
