Controversies and Progress in the Problem of Dynamical Fluctuation-Electromagnetic Interactions
arXiv:1112.5619
Abstract
A review is given of the key works relevant to the problem of dynamical fluctuation-electromagnetic interaction, a problem of topical interest over a period of several decades. We discuss controversies and present day progress in this problem considering two basic geometrical configurations: a small particle moving above a plate, and two parallel plates in relative motion.
