Casimir-Polder forces, boundary conditions and fluctuations
Riccardo Messina, Roberto Passante, Lucia Rizzuto +2
We review different aspects of the atom-atom and atom-wall Casimir-Polder forces. We first discuss the role of a boundary condition on the interatomic Casimir-Polder potential betw…
Time-dependent Maxwell field operators and field energy density for an atom near a conducting wall
R. Vasile, R. Messina, R. Passante
We consider the time evolution of the electric and magnetic field operators for a two-level atom, interacting with the electromagnetic field, placed near an infinite perfectly cond…
Riccati equation-based generalization of Dawson's integral function
R. Messina, M. A. Jivulescu, A. Messina +1
A new generalization of Dawson's integral function based on the link between a Riccati nonlinear differential equation and a second-order ordinary differential equation is reported…
Fluctuations of the Casimir-Polder force between an atom and a conducting wall
R. Messina, R. Passante
We consider the quantum fluctuations of the Casimir-Polder force between a neutral atom and a perfectly conducting wall in the ground state of the system. In order to obtain the at…
Casimir-Polder force density between an atom and a conducting wall
R. Messina, R. Passante
In this paper we calculate the Casimir-Polder force density (force per unit area acting on the elements of the surface) on a metallic plate placed in front of a neutral atom. To ob…
