Casimir Interaction Between a Plane and a Sphere: Correction to the Proximity-Force Approximation at Intermediate Temperatures
Vinicius Henning, Benjamin Spreng, Paulo A. Maia Neto +1
We consider the Casimir interaction energy between a plane and a sphere of radius at finite temperature as a function of the distance of closest approach . Typical exper…

The role of diffraction in the Casimir effect beyond the proximity force approximation
Vinicius Henning, Benjamin Spreng, Michael Hartmann +2
We derive the leading-order correction to the proximity force approximation (PFA) result for the electromagnetic Casimir interaction in the plane-sphere geometry by developing the…

Proximity force approximation and specular reflection: Application of the WKB limit of Mie scattering to the Casimir effect
Benjamin Spreng, Michael Hartmann, Vinicius Henning +2
The electromagnetic Casimir interaction between two spheres is studied within the scattering approach using the plane-wave basis. It is demonstrated that the proximity force approx…
