Casimir Effect for a Massive Scalar Field Under Mixed Boundary Conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the Casimir effect for a massive bosonic field with mixed (Dirichlet-Neumann) boundary conditions. We use the ζ-function regularization prescription to obtain our physical results. Particularly, we analyse how the Casimir energy varies with the mass of the field and compare this mass dependence with those obtained for other boundary conditions. This is done graphically. Some other graphs involving a massive fermionic field are also included.

Radiative Corrections to Casimir Effect in the λφ Model
We calculate radiative corrections to the Casimir effect for the massive complex scalar field with the λφ4 self-interaction in d + 1 dimensions. We consider the field submitted to four types of boundary conditions on two parallel planes, namely: (i) quasi-periodic boundary conditions, which interpolates continuously periodic and anti-periodic ones, (ii) Dirichlet conditions on both planes, (iii...
متن کاملNUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE CASIMIR EFFECT DUE TO A SCALAR FIELD
In this paper, we study the Casimir effect of a scalar field with Dirichlet boundary condition in some certain topologies. By numerical analysis we show that Casimir energy is a shape-dependent quantity. We also obtain the phase transition in different topologies in which the Casimir force changes from attractive to repulsive or vice versa. eararqr
متن کاملSOME POINTS ON CASIMIR FORCES
Casimir forces of massive ferrnionic Dirac fields are calculated for parallel plates geometry in spatial space with dimension d and imposing bag model boundary conditions. It is shown that in the range of ma>>l where m is mass of fields quanta and a is the separation distance of the plates, it is equal to massive bosonic fields Casimir force for each degree of freedom. We argue this equalit...
متن کاملGround State Energy for Massive Fields and Renormalisation
We discuss the renormalisation of the ground state energy of massive fields obeying boundary conditions, i.e., of the Casimir effect, and emphasise the role of the mass for its understanding. This is an extended abstract of a talk given at the topical group meeting on Casimir Forces at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics on March 15-29, 1998. Renormalisation is a key to the understa...
متن کاملCasimir effects of nano objects in fluctuating scalar and electromagnetic fields: Thermodynamic investigating
Casimir entropy is an important aspect of casimir effect and at the nanoscale is visible. In this paper, we employ the path integral method to obtain a general relation for casimir entropy and internal energy of arbitrary shaped objects in the presence of two, three and four dimension scalar fields and the electromagnetic field. For this purpose, using Lagrangian and based on a perturb...
