Casimir momentum of magneto-chiral matter
arXiv:1011.4376 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/93/41002
Abstract
We consider a scattering formulation of radiative momentum transfer to a Magneto-Chiral system that is subjected to a constant background magnetic field. The system takes the form of a collection magnetic dipoles that exhibit the Faraday effect. It is shown that the first non-trivial contribution of the momentum transfer to the object from the radiation field occurs at fourth order in the Born series.
