Geometry-Temperature Interplay in the Casimir Effect
Holger Gies, Alexej Weber
We discuss Casimir phenomena which are dominated by long-range fluctuations. A prime example is given by "geothermal" Casimir phenomena where thermal fluctuations in open Casimir g…
Nonperturbative access to Casimir-Polder forces
Babette Döbrich, Maarten DeKieviet, Holger Gies
We discuss the scalar analogue of the Casimir-Polder force between a sphere and a uniaxially corrugated surface with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Presenting a formulation that is…
Quantum statistics effect in Schwinger pair production in short laser pulses
Florian Hebenstreit, Reinhard Alkofer, Gerald V. Dunne +1
We investigate non-perturbative pair production from vacuum (the Schwinger effect) in the focal region of two counter-propagating, ultra-short laser pulses with sub-cycle structure…
Catalysis of Schwinger Vacuum Pair Production
Gerald V. Dunne, Holger Gies, Ralf Schützhold
We propose a new catalysis mechanism for non-perturbative vacuum electron-positron pair production, by superimposing a plane-wave X-ray probe beam with a strongly focused optical l…
