Casimir Energy for a Dielectric Cylinder
Ines Cavero-Pelaez, Kimball A. Milton
In this paper we calculate the Casimir energy for a dielectric-diamagnetic cylinder with the speed of light differing on the inside and outside. Although the result is in general d…
Recent Developments in Quantum Vacuum Energy for Confined Fields
K. A. Milton
Quantum vacuum energy entered hadronic physics through the zero-point energy parameter introduced into the bag model. Estimates of this parameter led to apparent discordance with p…
The Casimir effect: Recent controversies and progress
Kimball A. Milton
The phenomena implied by the existence of quantum vacuum fluctuations, grouped under the title of the Casimir effect, are reviewed, with emphasis on new results discovered in the p…
Finite Casimir Energies in Renormalizable Quantum Field Theory
Kimball A. Milton
Quantum vacuum energy has been known to have observable consequences since 1948 when Casimir calculated the force of attraction between parallel uncharged plates, a phenomenon conf…
Casimir Energies and Pressures for -function Potentials
Kimball A. Milton
The Casimir energies and pressures for a massless scalar field associated with -function potentials in 1+1 and 3+1 dimensions are calculated. For parallel plane surfaces, the re…
