New features of the thermal Casimir force at small separations
arXiv:quant-ph/0302149 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.160404
Abstract
The difference of the thermal Casimir forces at different temperatures between real metals is shown to increase with a decrease of the separation distance. This opens new opportunities for the demonstration of the thermal dependence of the Casimir force. Both configurations of two parallel plates and a sphere above a plate are considered. Different approaches to the theoretical description of the thermal Casimir force are shown to lead to different measurable predictions.
