Vacuum torque, propulsive forces, and anomalous tangential forces: Effects of nonreciprocal media out of thermal equilibrium

KA Milton, X Guo, G Kennedy, N Pourtolami… - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
From the generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem, it is known that a body at rest made of
nonreciprocal material may experience a torque, even in vacuum, if it is not in thermal …

Fractal thermodynamics and ninionic statistics of coherent rotational states: realization via imaginary angular rotation in imaginary time formalism

MN Chernodub - arXiv preprint arXiv:2210.05651, 2022 - arxiv.org
We suggest the existence of systems in which the statistics of a particle changes with the
quantum level it occupies. The occupation numbers in thermal equilibrium depend on a …

Dispersive interaction between two atoms in Proca quantum electrodynamics

G Camacho de Pinho, CAD Zarro, C Farina, RM Souza… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We analyze the influence of a massive photon in the dispersive interaction between two
atoms in their fundamental states. We work in the context of Proca quantum …

Casimir self-entropy of nanoparticles with classical polarizabilities: Electromagnetic field fluctuations

Y Li, KA Milton, P Parashar, G Kennedy, N Pourtolami… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Not only are Casimir interaction entropies not guaranteed to be positive, but also, more
strikingly, Casimir self-entropies of bodies can be negative. Here, we attempt to interpret the …

Thermal Casimir effect with general boundary conditions

JM Muñoz-Castañeda, L Santamaría-Sanz… - The European Physical …, 2020 - Springer
In this paper we study the system of a scalar quantum field confined between two plane,
isotropic, and homogeneous parallel plates at thermal equilibrium. We represent the plates …

Conditions for Bose–Einstein condensation in periodic background

M Bordag - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract We investigate Bose–Einstein condensation of a noninteracting gas of Bose
particles moving in the background of a periodic lattice of delta functions. In the one …

Thermal Casimir interactions in multiparticle systems: Scattering channel approach

Y Li, KA Milton, I Brevik - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Multiparticle thermal Casimir interactions are investigated, mostly in terms of the Casimir
entropy, from the point of view of multiple-scattering processes. The geometry of the …

Remarks on the Casimir self-entropy of a spherical electromagnetic -function shell

KA Milton, P Kalauni, P Parashar, Y Li - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
Recently, the Casimir self-entropy of an electromagnetic δ-function shell was considered by
two different groups, with apparently discordant conclusions, although both had concluded …

The role of scalar current coupling along surfaces

FA Barone, LHC Borges, G Flores-Hidalgo… - The European Physical …, 2024 - Springer
In this paper we propose a coupling between the complex scalar field and an external Dirac
delta-like planar potential. The coupling is achieved through the Klein–Gordon current …
