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…
