Casimir stress in an inhomogeneous medium
The Casimir effect in an inhomogeneous dielectric is investigated using Lifshitz’s theory of electromagnetic vacuum energy. A permittivity function that depends continuously on one Cartesian coordinate is chosen, bounded on each side by homogeneous dielectrics. The result for the Casimir stress is infinite everywhere inside the inhomogeneous region, a divergence that does not occur for piece-wi...
متن کاملRadiative Correction to the Casimir Force on a Sphere
The first radiative correction to the Casimir energy of a perfectly conducting spherical shell is calculated. The calculation is performed in the framework of covariant perturbation theory with the boundary conditions implemented as constraints. The formalism is briefly reviewed and its use is explained by deriving the known results for two parallel planes. The ultraviolet divergencies are show...
متن کاملHigher order conductivity corrections to the Casimir force
The finite conductivity corrections to the Casimir force in two configurations are calculated in the third and fourth orders in relative penetration depth of electromagnetic zero oscillations into the metal. The obtained analytical perturbation results are compared with recent computations. Applications to the modern experiments are discussed. PACS codes: 03.70.+k, 12.20.Ds, 78.20.-e
متن کاملRoughness correction to the Casimir force : Beyond the Proximity Force Approximation
– We calculate the roughness correction to the Casimir effect as a second order perturbation of the parallel plates geometry. The metallic plates are described by the plasma model, with arbitrary values for the plasma wavelength, the plate separation and the roughness spectrum. The roughness correction is always larger than the result obtained in the Proximity Force Approximation. We derive sca...
متن کاملThermal correction to the Casimir force, radiative heat transfer, and an experiment
The low-temperature asymptotic expressions for the Casimir interaction between two real metals described by Leontovich surface impedance are obtained in the framework of thermal quantum field theory. It is shown that the Casimir entropy computed using the impedance of infrared optics vanishes in the limit of zero temperature. By contrast, the Casimir entropy computed using the impedance of the ...
