Casimir-Polder repulsion: Three-body effects
Kimball A. Milton, E. K. Abalo, Prachi Parashar +5
In this paper we study an archetypical scenario in which repulsive Casimir-Polder forces between an atom or molecule and two macroscopic bodies can be achieved. This is an extensio…
Sign of the Casimir-Polder interaction between atoms and oil-water interfaces: Subtle dependence on dielectric properties
Mathias Boström, Simen Å. Ellingsen, Iver Brevik +2
We demonstrate that Casimir-Polder energies between noble gas atoms (dissolved in water) and oil-water interfaces are highly surface specific. Both repulsion (e.g. hexane) and attr…
Casimir-Polder interaction of fullerene molecules with surfaces
Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Stefan Scheel, Simen Å. Ellingsen +2
We calculate the thermal Casimir--Polder potential of C60 and C70 fullerene molecules near gold and silicon nitride surfaces, motivated by their relevance for molecular matter wave…
Casimir-Polder energy level shifts of an out-of-equilibrium particle near a microsphere
Simen Å. Ellingsen, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Stefan Scheel
Rydberg atoms and beams of ultracold polar molecules have become highly useful experimental tools in recent years. There is therefore a need for accessible calculations of interact…
Temperature-independent Casimir-Polder forces in arbitrary geometries
Simen Å. Ellingsen, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Stefan Scheel
We show that the Casimir-Polder potential of a particle in an energy eigenstate at nonretarded distance from a well-conducting body of arbitrary shape is independent of the environ…
Casimir-Polder potential and transition rate in resonating cylindrical cavities
Simen Å. Ellingsen, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Stefan Scheel
We consider the Casimir-Polder potential of particles placed inside a metallic cylindrical cavity at finite temperatures, taking account of thermal non-equilibrium effects. In part…
