Conservative-dissipative forces and heating mediated by fluctuation electromagnetic field: two plates in relative nonrelativistic motion

arXiv:0904.3053 · doi:10.1016/j.susc.2009.12.026

Abstract

We calculate heating rate, attractive conservative and tangential dissipative fluctuation electromagnetic forces felt by a thick plate moving with nonrelativistic velocity parallel to a closely spaced another plate in rest using relativistic fluctuation electrodynamics. We argue that recently developed relativistic out of equilibrium theory of fluctuation electromagnetic interactions (Volokitin et. al., Phys.Rev. B78, 155437 (2008))has serious drawbacks.
