Casimir force between ideal metal plates in a chiral vacuum
Johan S. Høye, Iver Brevik
We calculate the Casimir force between two parallel ideal metal plates when there is an intervening chiral medium present. Making use of methods of quantum statistical mechanics we…
Casimir Friction Between a Magnetic and a Dielectric Material, in the Nonretarded Limit
Johan S. Høye, Iver Brevik
The repulsive nature of the static Casimir force between two half-spaces, one perfectly dielectric and the other purely magnetic, has been known since Boyer's work [T. H. Boyer, Ph…
Repulsive Casimir Force
Johan S. Høye, Iver Brevik
The Casimir force between two parallel thick plates, one perfectly dielectric, the other purely magnetic, has been calculated long ago by Boyer [T. H. Boyer, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 9},…
Presence of negative entropies in Casimir interactions
Johan S. Høye, Iver Brevik, Kimball A. Milton
Negative entropy in connection with the Casimir effect at uniform temperature is a phenomenon rooted in the circumstance that one is describing a nonclosed system, or only part of…
Casimir Force between a Half-Space and a Plate of Finite Thickness
Johan S. Høye, Iver Brevik
Zero-frequency Casimir theory is analyzed from different viewpoints, focusing on the Drude-plasma issue that turns up when one considers thermal corrections to the Casimir force. T…
The Reality of Casimir Friction
K. A. Milton, J. S. Høye, I. Brevik
For more than 35 years theorists have studied quantum or Casimir friction, which occurs when two smooth bodies move transversely to each other, experiencing a frictional dissipativ…
Casimir friction: Relative motion more generally
Johan S. Høye, Iver Brevik
This paper extends our recent study on Casimir friction forces for dielectric plates moving parallel to each other [J. S. Høye and I. Brevik, Eur. Phys. J. D {\bf 68}, 61 (2014)],…
Casimir friction at zero and finite temperatures
Johan S. Høye, Iver Brevik
The Casimir friction problem for dielectric plates that move parallel to each other is treated by assuming one of the plates to be at rest. The other performs a closed loop motion…
Temperature Dependence of the Casimir Force
Iver Brevik, Johan S. Høye
The Casimir force - at first a rather unexpected consequence of quantum electrodynamics - was discovered by Hendrik Casimir in Eindhoven in 1948. It predicts that two uncharged met…
