Casimir Energy and Entropy between Dissipative Mirrors
We discuss the Casimir effect between two identical, parallel slabs, emphasizing the role of dissipation and temperature. Starting from quite general assumptions, we analyze the behavior of the Casimir entropy in the limit T → 0 and link it to the behavior of the slab’s reflection coefficients at low frequencies. We also derive a formula in terms of a sum over modes, valid for dissipative slabs...
متن کاملExact Casimir Interaction Between Semitransparent Spheres and Cylinders
A multiple scattering formulation is used to calculate the force, arising from fluctuating scalar fields, between distinct bodies described by δ-function potentials, so-called semitransparent bodies. (In the limit of strong coupling, a semitransparent boundary becomes a Dirichlet one.) We obtain expressions for the Casimir energies between disjoint parallel semitransparent cylinders and between...
متن کاملCasimir ’ s entropy
The classical ‘Kirchhoff’s theorem’ (the energy density of the radiation at equilibrium at high temperature, T , is a function of T only) is used to obtain the Casimir energy at zero temperature without recourse to regularization. The validity of ‘Kirchhoff’s theorem’ at the high-temperature limit for the case at hand is confirmed. The Casimir entropy is defined and its temperature dependence i...
متن کاملCasimir effect between Dirichlet spheres or a plate and a sphere
We present a simple formalism for the evaluation of the Casimir energy for two spheres and a sphere and a plane, in case of a scalar fluctuating field, valid at any separations. We compare the exact results with various approximation schemes and establish when such schemes become useful. The formalism can be easily extended to any number of spheres and/or planes in three or arbitrary dimensions...
متن کاملConfigurational entropy of hard spheres
We numerically calculate the configurational entropy Sconf of a binary mixture of hard spheres, by using a perturbed Hamiltonian method trapping the system inside a given state, which requires less assumptions than the previous methods [R.J. Speedy, Mol. Phys. 95, 169 (1998)]. We find that Sconf is a decreasing function of packing fraction φ and extrapolates to zero at the Kauzmann packing frac...
