Effect of excess charge carriers and fluid medium on the magnitude and the sign of the Casimir-Lifshitz torque

P. Thiyam, Prachi Parashar, K. V. Shajesh +6

Last year, we reported a perturbative theory of the Casimir-Lifshitz torque between planar biaxially anisotropic materials in the retarded limit [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 120}, 131601…

Magnetostatic interaction energy between a point magnet and a ring magnet

Niranjan Warnakulasooriya, Dinuka H. Gallaba, John Joseph Marchetta +3

We find an exact closed-form expression for the magnetostatic interaction energy between a point magnet and a ring magnet in terms of complete elliptic integrals. The exact express…

Casimir Self-Entropy of Nanoparticles with Classical Polarizabilities: Electromagnetic Field Fluctuations

Yang Li, Kimball A. Milton, Prachi Parashar +3

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…

Quantum Vacuum Energy of Self-Similar Configurations

Inés Cavero-Peláez, Prachi Parashar, K. V. Shajesh

We offer in this review a description of the vacuum energy of self-similar systems. We describe two views of setting self-similar structures and point out the main differences. A r…

Negativity of the Casimir self-entropy in spherical geometries

Yang Li, Kimball A. Milton, Prachi Parashar +1

It has been recognized for some time that even for perfect conductors, the interaction Casimir entropy, due to quantum/thermal fluctuations, can be negative. This result was not co…

Geometrical dependence in Casimir-Polder repulsion

John Joseph Marchetta, Prachi Parashar, K. V. Shajesh

Repulsion, induced from quantum vacuum fluctuations, for an anisotropically polarizable atom on the symmetry axis of an anisotropically polarizable annular disc is studied. There e…

Self-Stress on a Dielectric Ball and Casimir-Polder Forces

Kimball A. Milton, Prachi Parashar, Iver Brevik +1

It has always been conventionally understood that, in the dilute limit, the Casimir energy of interaction between bodies or the Casimir self-energy of a dielectric body could be id…

Role of zero point energy in promoting ice formation in a spherical drop of water

Prachi Parashar, K. V. Shajesh, Kimball A. Milton +3

We demonstrate that the Lifshitz interaction energy (excluding the self-energies of the inner and outer spherical regions) for three concentric spherical dielectric media can be ev…

Remarks on the Casimir Self-Entropy of a Spherical Electromagnetic -Function Shell

Kimball A. Milton, Pushpa Kalauni, Prachi Parashar +1

Recently the Casimir self-entropy of an electromagnetic -function shell was considered by two different groups, with apparently discordant conclusions, although both had conclud…

Parity and Fermions in Front-Form: An Unexpected Result

Mikolaj Sawicki, D. V. Ahluwalia

We show that under the operation of parity the {\it front-form} and Weyl spinors (massive or massless) do not get interchanged. This has the important conse…
