ug 2 00 1 A thick shell Casimir effect
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the Casimir energy of a thick dielectric-diamagnetic shell under a uniform velocity light condition, as a function of the radii and the permeabilities. We show that there is a range of parameters in which the stress on the outer shell is inward, and a range where the stress on the outer shell is outward. We examine the possibility of obtaining an energetically stable configuration of a thick shell made of a material with a fixed volume.

A ug 2 00 5 Casimir effect in a two dimensional signature changing spacetime
In this paper we study the Casimir effect for free massless scalar fields propagating on a two-dimensional cylinder with a metric that admits a change of signature from Lorentzian to Euclidean. We obtain a nonzero pressure on the hypersurfaces of signature change.

The Casimir stress on two concentric spherical shell in de Sitter background for massless scalar field is calculated. The scalar field satisfies Dirichlet boundary conditions on the spheres. The metric is written in conformally flat form to make maximum use of Minkowski space calculations. Then the Casimir stress is calculated for inside and outside of the shell with different backgrounds. This...

The creation of massless scalar particles from the quantum vacuum by spherical shell with time varying radius is studied. In the general case of motion the equations are derived for the instantaneous basis expansion coefficients. The examples are considered when the mean number of particles can be explicitly evaluated in the adiabatic approximation.

In this paper we study the Casimir force for a piston configuration in R 3 with one dimension being slightly curved and the other two infinite. We work for two different cases with this setup. In the first, the piston is " free to move " along a transverse dimension to the curved one and in the other case the piston " moves " along the curved one. We find that the Casimir force has opposite sig...

The Casimir energy for massless scalar field which satisfies priodic boundary conditions in two-dimensional domain wall background is calculated by making use of general properties of renormalized stress-tensor. The line element of domain wall is time dependent, the trace anomaly which is the nonvanishing T µ µ for a conformally invariant field after renormalization, represents the back reactio...
