متن کاملCasimir force on a piston
We consider a massless scalar field obeying Dirichlet boundary conditions on the walls of a two-dimensional L×b rectangular box, divided by a movable partition (piston) into two boxes of dimensions a × b and (L − a) × b. We compute the Casimir force on the piston in the limit L → ∞. Regardless the value of a/b, the piston is attracted to the nearest end of the box. Asymptotic expressions for th...
متن کاملCasimir force changes sign.
that the quantum fluctuations of an electromagnetic field, so-called zero-point fluctuations, give rise to an attractive force between objects 1. This force is a particularly striking consequence of the quantum theory of electrodynamics (for a review, see ref. 2). Casimir's calculations were idealized — he considered two perfectly conducting parallel plates at absolute-zero temperature — but th...
متن کاملPulsating Casimir force
Based on the Lifshitz theory we show that the illumination of one (Si) plate in the three-layer systems Au–ethanol–Si, Si–ethanol–Si and α-Al2O3–ethanol– Si with laser pulses can change the Casimir attraction to Casimir repulsion and vice versa. The proposed effect opens novel opportunities in nanotechnology to actuate the periodic movement in electroand optomechanical micromachines based entir...
متن کاملCasimir force at both nonzero temperature and finite conductivity.
We find the combined effect of nonzero temperature and finite conductivity onto the Casimir force between real metals. Configurations of two parallel plates and a sphere (lens) above a plate are considered. Perturbation theory in two parameters (the relative temperature and the relative penetration depth of zero-point oscillations into the metal) is developed. Perturbative results are compared ...
