The Casimir Force between Real Mirrors at Non Zero Temperature
The Casimir force between dissipative metallic mirrors at non zero temperature has recently given rise to contradictory claims which have raised doubts about the theoretical expression of the force. In order to contribute to the resolution of this difficulty, we come back to the derivation of the force from basic principles of the quantum theory of lossy optical cavities. We obtain an expressio...
متن کاملThe Casimir force for passive mirrors
We show that the Casimir force between mirrors with arbitrary frequency dependent reflectivities obeys bounds due to causality and passivity properties. The force is always smaller than the Casimir force between two perfectly reflecting mirrors. For narrow-band mirrors in particular, the force is found to decrease with the mirrors bandwidth.

متن کاملCasimir 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 کاملEffect of hydrogen-switchable mirrors on the Casimir force.
We present systematic measurements of the Casimir force between a gold-coated plate and a sphere coated with a hydrogen-switchable mirror. Hydrogen-switchable mirrors are shiny metals that can become transparent upon hydrogenation. Despite such a dramatic change of the optical properties of the sphere, we did not observe any significant decrease of the Casimir force after filling the experiment...
متن کاملCasimir force between dispersive magnetodielectrics
We extend our approach to the Casimir effect between absorbing dielectric multilayers [M. S. Tomaš, Phys. Rev. A 66, 052103 (2002)] to magnetodielectric systems. The resulting expression for the force is used to numerically explore the effect of the medium dispersion on the attractive/repulsive force in a metal-magnetodielectric system described by the Drude-Lorentz permittivities and permeabil...
