Casimir-Polder interaction of atoms with magnetodielectric bodies
Abstract. A general theory of the Casimir-Polder interaction of single atoms with dispersing and absorbing magnetodielectric bodies is presented, which is based on QED in linear, causal media. Both ground-state and excited atoms are considered. Whereas the Casimir-Polder force acting on a ground-state atom can conveniently be derived from a perturbative calculation of the atom-field coupling en...
متن کاملCasimir-Polder interaction between an atom and a dielectric slab
We present an explicit analytic calculation of the energy-level shift of an atom in front of a nondispersive and nondissipative dielectric slab. We work with the fully quantized electromagnetic field, taking retardation into account. We give the shift as a two-dimensional integral and use asymptotic analysis to find expressions for it in various retarded and nonretarded limiting cases. The resu...

متن کاملCasimir-Polder Interaction in the Presence of Parallel Walls
In 1948, Casimir and Polder [1] taking into account a suggestion made by experimentalists evaluated the interaction potential between two eletrical polarizable molecules separated by a distance r including the effects due to the finiteness of the speed of propagation of the electromagnetic interaction, i.e.: of the retardment. Casimir and Polder showed that the retardment causes the interaction...
متن کاملCasimir-Polder interaction between an atom and a cylinder with application to nanosystems
Recently the Lifshitz theory of dispersion forces was extended for the case of an atom (molecule) interacting with a plane surface of a uniaxial crystal or with a long solid cylinder or cylindrical shell made of isotropic material or uniaxial crystal. The obtained results are applicable to nanosystems. In particular, we investigate the Casimir-Polder interaction between hydrogen atoms (molecule...
