Dispersive interaction between two atoms in Proca Quantum Electrodynamics
Gabriel Camacho de Pinho, Carlos Augusto Domingues Zarro, Carlos Farina +2
We analyze the influence of a massive photon in the dispersive interaction between two atoms in their fundamental states. We work in the context of Proca Quantum Electrodynamics. T…
Sommerfeld's image method in the calculation of van der Waals forces
Reinaldo de Melo e Souza, W. J. M. Kort-Kamp, C. Sigaud +1
We show how the image method can be used together with a recent method developed by C. Eberlein and R. Zietal to obtain the dispersive van der Waals interaction between an atom and…
Finite size effects and non-additivity in the van der Waals interaction
Reinaldo de Melo e Souza, W. J. M. Kort-Kamp, C. Sigaud +1
We obtain analytically the exact non-retarded dispersive interaction energy between an atom and a perfectly conducting disc. We consider the atom in the symmetry axis of the disc a…
