Interplay of curvature and temperature in the Casimir-Polder interaction
arXiv:1410.8049 · doi:10.1088/0953-8984/27/21/214018
Abstract
We study the Casimir-Polder interaction at finite temperatures between a polarizable small, anisotropic particle and a non-planar surface using a derivative expansion. We obtain the leading and the next-to-leading curvature corrections to the interaction for low and high temperatures. Explicit results are provided for the retarded limit in the presence of a perfectly conducting surface.
