متن کاملMedium-modified Casimir forces
Abstract. We argue that the results for the vacuum forces on a slab and on an atom embedded in a magnetodielectric medium near a mirror, obtained using a recently suggested Lorentz-force approach to the Casimir effect, are equivalent to the corresponding results obtained in a traditional way. We also derive a general expression for the atom-atom force in a medium and extend a few classical resu...
متن کاملElectrodynamic Casimir effect in a medium-filled wedge.
We re-examine the electrodynamic Casimir effect in a wedge defined by two perfect conductors making dihedral angle alpha=pi/p. This system is analogous to the system defined by a cosmic string. We consider the wedge region as filled with an azimuthally symmetric material, with permittivity and permeability epsilon1, micro1 for distance from the axis ra. The result...
متن کاملElectrodynamic Casimir effect in a medium-filled wedge. II.
We consider the Casimir energy in a geometry of an infinite magnetodielectric wedge closed by a circularly cylindrical, perfectly reflecting arc embedded in another magnetodielectric medium, under the condition that the speed of light be the same in both media. An expression for the Casimir energy corresponding to the arc is obtained and it is found that in the limit where the reflectivity of t...
متن کاملCasimir Forces and Geometry in Nanosystems
Casimir interactions, predicted in 1948 [15, 14] between atoms and macroscopic surfaces, and probed in a series of high precision experiments over the past decade [46, 50, 8], are particular important at micro-meter to nano-meter length scales due to their strong power-law increase at short separations between particles. Therefore, in constructing and operating devices at these length scales it...
