Repulsive Casimir force in chiral metamaterials.
We demonstrate theoretically that one can obtain repulsive Casimir forces and stable nanolevitations by using chiral metamaterials. By extending the Lifshitz theory to treat chiral metamaterials, we find that a repulsive force and a minimum of the interaction energy possibly exist for strong chirality, under realistic frequency dependencies and correct limiting values (for zero and infinite fre...
متن کاملWeak and Repulsive Casimir Force in Piston Geometries
We study the Casimir force in piston-like geometries semiclassically. The force on the piston is finite and physical, but to leading semiclassical approximation depends strongly on the shape of the surrounding cavity. Whereas this force is attractive for pistons in a parallelepiped with flat cylinder head, for which the semiclassical approximation by periodic orbits is exact, this approximation...
متن کاملEvanescent character of the repulsive thermal Casimir force
The physical origin of the negative thermal correction to the Casimir force between metals is clarified. For this purpose the asymptotic behavior of the thermal Casimir force is analyzed at large and small distances in the real frequency representation. Contributions from propagating and evanescent waves are considered separately. At large distances they cancel each other in substantial degree ...
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...
متن کاملCasimir force between bimetallic heterostructures
With the recent growth of nano physics, the Casimir effect has gained more attention, and this time also on the experimental side [2–6], because it is clear that Casimir forces will have to be taken into account where micro and nanostructures are involved [7,8]. These experiments were made between a sphere and a plate, a setup that has proved more easily applicable in experiments. Recently Ianu...
