Non perturbative approach to Casimir interactions in periodic geometries
Rauno Buescher, Thorsten Emig
Due to their collective nature Casimir forces can strongly depend on the geometrical shape of the interacting objects. We study the effect of strong periodic shape deformations of…

Towards a Theory of Molecular Forces between Deformed Media
Rauno Buescher, Thorsten Emig
A macroscopic theory for the molecular or Casimir interaction of dielectric materials with arbitrarily shaped surfaces is developed. The interaction is generated by the quantum and…
