Casimir Forces and Geometry in Nanosystems
Thorsten Emig
This article reviews recent progress on the geometry dependence of Casimir interactions and presents some applications to nanosystems. The article consists of three parts: (i) Some…
Casimir manipulations: The orientation dependence of fluctuation-induced forces
T. Emig, N. Graham, R. L. Jaffe +1
The Casimir interaction between two objects, or between an object and a plane, depends on their relative orientations. We make these angular dependences explicit by considering pro…
Fluctuation induced quantum interactions between compact objects and a plane mirror
Thorsten Emig
The interaction of compact objects with an infinitely extended mirror plane due to quantum fluctuations of a scalar or electromagnetic field that scatters off the objects is studie…
Nonmonotonic effects of parallel sidewalls on Casimir forces between cylinders
Sahand Jamal Rahi, Alejandro W. Rodriguez, Thorsten Emig +3
We analyze the Casimir force between two parallel infinite metal cylinders, with nearby metal plates (sidewalls), using complementary methods for mutual confirmation. The attractiv…
Casimir Forces between Compact Objects: I. The Scalar Case
T. Emig, N. Graham, R. L. Jaffe +1
We have developed an exact, general method to compute Casimir interactions between a finite number of compact objects of arbitrary shape and separation. Here, we present details of…
Casimir force driven ratchets
Thorsten Emig
We explore the non-linear dynamics of two parallel periodically patterned metal surfaces that are coupled by the zero-point fluctuations of the electromagnetic field between them.…
