Comment on "Thermal Lifshitz force between an atom and a conductor with a small density of carriers"
arXiv:0810.3243 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.189301
Abstract
We demonstrate that the generalization of the Lifshitz theory proposed by L. P. Pitaevskii arXiv:0801.0656 [Phys. Rev. Lett. v.101, 163202 (2008)] violates the Nernst heat theorem for many dielectric materials and is experimentally inconsistent.
