It is known that the Lifshitz theory of the Casimir force comes into conflict with measurement data if the response of conduction electrons in metals to electromagnetic fluctuations is …
We consider the Casimir pressure between two metallic plates and calculate the four contributions to it determined by the propagating and evanescent waves and by the …
It is well known that the Casimir force calculated at large separations using the Lifshitz theory differs by a factor of 2 for metals described by the Drude or plasma models. We argue …
The nonlocal response functions to quantum fluctuations are used to find asymptotic expressions for the Casimir free energy and entropy at an arbitrarily low temperature in the …
We derive the low-temperature behavior of the Casimir-Polder free energy for a polarizable atom interacting with graphene sheet which possesses the nonzero energy gap Δ and …
Motivated by evidence for quark-gluon plasma signatures in small systems, we study a simple model of a massless, noninteracting scalar field confined with Dirichlet boundary …
In the present introductory to the Special Issue “75 Years of the Casimir Effect: Advances and Prospects”, we summarize the state of the art in this field of physics, briefly describe the …
This paper presents the results of calculating the van der Waals friction force (dissipative fluctuation-electromagnetic force) between metallic (Au) plates in relative motion at …
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 …
