Scalar Casimir Energies for Separable Coordinate Systems: Application to Semi-transparent Planes in an Annulus

J. Wagner, K. A. Milton, K. Kirsten

We derive a simplified general expression for the two-body scalar Casimir energy in generalized separable coordinate systems. We apply this technique to the case of radial semi-tra…

Electromagnetic Casimir Effect in Wedge Geometry and the Energy-Momentum Tensor in Media

I. Brevik, S. A. Ellingsen, K. A. Milton

The wedge geometry closed by a circular-cylindrical arc is a nontrivial generalization of the cylinder, which may have various applications. If the radial boundaries are not perfec…

Casimir Effect for a Semitransparent Wedge and an Annular Piston

Kimball A. Milton, Jef Wagner, Klaus Kirsten

We consider the Casimir energy due to a massless scalar field in a geometry of an infinite wedge closed by a Dirichlet circular cylinder, where the wedge is formed by -function…

Multiple Scattering Casimir Force Calculations: Layered and Corrugated Materials, Wedges, and Casimir-Polder Forces

Kimball A. Milton, Prachi Parashar, Jef Wagner +1

Various applications of the multiple scattering technique to calculating Casimir energy are described. These include the interaction between dilute bodies of various sizes and shap…

Nanowire atomchip traps for sub-micron atom-surface distances

R. Salem, Y. Japha, J. Chabé +4

We present an analysis of magnetic traps for ultracold atoms based on current-carrying wires with sub-micron dimensions. We analyze the physical limitations of these conducting wir…

Exact Casimir energies at nonzero temperature: Validity of proximity force approximation and interaction of semitransparent spheres

Kimball A. Milton, Prachi Parashar, Jef Wagner +1

In this paper, dedicated to the career of Tom Erber, we consider the Casimir interaction between weakly coupled bodies at nonzero temperature. For the case of semitransparent bodie…

Electrodynamic Casimir Effect in a Medium-Filled Wedge II

Simen Adnoy Ellingsen, Iver Brevik, Kimball A. Milton

We consider the Casimir energy in a geometry of an infinite magnetodielectric wedge closed by a circularly cylindrical, perfectly conducting arc embedded in another magnetodielectr…

Electrodynamic Casimir Effect in a Medium-Filled Wedge

Iver Brevik, Simen Å Ellingsen, Kimball A. Milton

We re-examine the electrodynamic Casimir effect in a wedge defined by two perfect conductors making dihedral angle α=π/p. This system is analogous to the system defined by a cosmic…
