The physical origin of the Casimir force is connected with the existence of zero-point and
thermal fluctuations. The Casimir effect is very general and finds applications in various …

We report an improved dynamic determination of the Casimir pressure Pexpt between two
plane plates obtained using a micromachined torsional oscillator. The main improvements in …

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 extend the Lifshitz theory of the Casimir force to the case of two parallel magnetic metal
plates possessing a spatially nonlocal dielectric response. By solving Maxwell equations in …

The problem with the temperature dependence of the Casimir force is investigated.
Specifically, the entropy behavior in the low temperature limit, which caused debates in the …

We present an approach for the description of fluorescence from optically active materials
embedded in layered periodic structures. Based on an exact electromagnetic Green's tensor …

We derive general expressions for the fluctuating electromagnetic field outside a
homogeneous material surface. The analysis is based on general results from the …

The Casimir force is calculated between plates with thin metallic coating. Thin films are
described with spatially dispersive (nonlocal) dielectric functions. For thin films the nonlocal …

We develop a formalism for the calculation of the flow of angular momentum carried by the
fluctuating electromagnetic field within a cavity bounded by two flat anisotropic materials. By …

We calculate the corrections to the Casimir force between two metals due to the spatial
dispersion of their response functions. We employ model-independent expressions for the …
