Fluctuation-Electromagnetic Interaction of Rotating Neutral Particle with the Surface: Relativistic Theory
arXiv:1303.7421
Abstract
Based on the fluctuation-electromagnetic theory, we have calculated the retarded force of attraction, frictional moment and heating rate of a neutral particle rotating near a polarizable surface. The particle and surface are characterized by arbitrary material properties and temperatures. The surface is assumed to be in thermal equilibrium with vacuum environment.
