On Casimir Forces for Media with Arbitrary Dielectric Properties
We derive an expression for the Casimir force between slabs with arbitrary dielectric properties characterized by their reflection coefficients. The formalism presented here is applicable to media with a local or a non-local dielectric response, an infinite or a finite width, inhomogeneous dissipative, etc. Our results reduce to the Lifshitz formula for the force between semi-infinite dielectri...
متن کاملCasimir energy of dielectric systems
This paper is devoted to study of Casimir effect [ 1] in dielectrics at zero temperature in the framework of quantum field theory. The presentation of the subject is based on the results and proofs derived by the author. The paper is organized as follows. In section 2 a new formula for the Casimir energy of a dispersive dilute dielectric ball [ 2] is discussed. In section 3 a path-integral meth...
متن کامل0 Casimir energy and dilute dielectric ball
General formalism of quantum field theory and addition theorem for Bessel functions are applied to derive formula for CasimirPolder energy of interaction between a polarizable particle and a dilute dielectric ball. The equivalence of dipole-dipole interaction and Casimir energy for dilute homogeneous dielectrics is shown. A novel method is used to derive Casimir energy of a dilute dielectric ba...

متن کاملCasimir forces between arbitrary compact objects: Scalar and electromagnetic field
We develop an exact method for computing the Casimir energy between arbitrary compact objects, both with boundary conditions for a scalar field and dielectrics or perfect conductors for the electromagnetic field. The energy is obtained as an interaction between multipoles, generated by quantum source or current fluctuations. The objects’ shape and composition enter only through their scattering...
