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 …

The phenomena implied by the existence of quantum vacuum fluctuations, grouped under
the title of the Casimir effect, are reviewed, with emphasis on new results discovered in the …

The subject of this book is the Casimir effect, a manifestation of zero-point oscillations of the
quantum vacuum resulting in forces acting between closely spaced bodies. For the benefit of …

Classical Electrodynamics captures Schwinger's inimitable lecturing style, in which
everything flows inexorably from what has gone before. Novel elements of the approach …

The Casimir force, which is the attraction of two uncharged material bodies due to
modification of the zero-point energy associated with the electromagnetic modes in the …

A micromechanical torsion oscillator has been used to strengthen the limits on new Yukawa
forces by determining the Casimir pressure between two gold-coated plates. By significantly …

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 …

The first precise measurement of the Casimir force between dissimilar metals is reported.
The attractive force, between a Cu layer evaporated on a microelectromechanical torsional …

We adopt the Dirac model for quasiparticles in graphene and calculate the finite-
temperature Casimir interaction between a suspended graphene layer and a parallel …

We review the theory of the Casimir effect using scattering techniques. After years of
theoretical effort, this formalism is now largely mastered so that the accuracy of theory …
