Dispersive interaction between an atom and a conducting sphere
M. M. Taddei, T. N. C. Mendes, C. Farina
We calculate the van der Waals dispersive interaction between a neutral but polarizable atom and a perfectly conducting isolated sphere in the nonretarded case. We make use of two…
Subtleties on energy calculations in the image method
M. M. Taddei, T. N. C. Mendes, C. Farina
In this pedagogical work we point out a subtle mistake that can be done by undergraduate or graduate students in the computation of the electrostatic energy of a system containing…
Magnetic influence on classical dispersion
T. N. C. Mendes, Reinaldo de Melo e Souza, C. Farina
We discuss the Lorentz model for dispersion and absorption of radiation in dilute, linear and isotropic materials. Initially, with the purpose of making the paper as self-contained…
