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 …

Interactions induced by electromagnetic fluctuations, such as van der Waals and Casimir
forces, are of universal nature present at any length scale between any types of systems …

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 …

This paper provides a review of the complicated problems in Lifshitz theory describing the
Casimir force between real material plates composed of metals and dielectrics, including …

We review recent results on the low-temperature behaviors of the Casimir-Polder and
Casimir free energy an entropy for a polarizable atom interacting with a graphene sheet and …

The spatially nonlocal response functions are proposed which nearly coincide with the
commonly used local response for electromagnetic fields and fluctuations on the mass shell …

We calculate the Casimir force between slabs of finite thickness made of intrinsic and doped
silicon with different concentration of carriers and compare the results to those obtained for …

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 …

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 …

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 …
