Edge effects in electrostatic calibrations for the measurement of the Casimir force
arXiv:1101.1480 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2010.03.035
Abstract
We have performed numerical simulations to evaluate the effect on the capacitance of finite size boundaries realistically present in the parallel plane, sphere-plane, and cylinder-plane geometries. The potential impact of edge effects in assessing the accuracy of the parameters obtained in the electrostatic calibrations of Casimir force experiments is then discussed.
