Experimentum crucis for electromagnetic response of metals to evanescent waves and the Casimir puzzle
G. L. Klimchitskaya, V. M. Mostepanenko, V. B. Svetovoy
It is well known that the Casimir force calculated at large separations using the Lifshitz theory differs by a factor of 2 for metals described by the Drude or plasma models. We ar…
Probing the response of metals to low-frequency s-polarized evanescent fields
G. L. Klimchitskaya, V. M. Mostepanenko, V. B. Svetovoy
Experimental test for the response function of metals to the low-frequency s-polarized evanescent waves is proposed by measuring the lateral component of magnetic field of an oscil…
Nonlinear actuation dynamics of driven Casimir oscillators with rough surfaces
Wijnand Broer, Holger Waalkens, Vitaly B. Svetovoy +2
At separations below 100 nm, Casimir-Lifshitz forces strongly influence the actuation dynamics of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) in dry vacuum conditions. For a micron size…
Evanescent character of the repulsive thermal Casimir force
Vitaly B. Svetovoy
The physical origin of the negative thermal correction to the Casimir force between metals is clarified. For this purpose the asymptotic behavior of the thermal Casimir force is an…
Spatial dispersion in Casimir forces: A brief review
R Esquivel-Sirvent, C Villarreal, W L Mochán +2
We present the basic principles of non-local optics in connection with the calculation of the Casimir force between half-spaces and thin films. At currently accessible distances $L…
Non-local thin films in Casimir force calculations
R. Esquivel, V. Svetovoy
he Casimir force is calculated between plates with thin metallic coating. Thin films are described with spatially dispersive (nonlocal) dielectric functions. For thin films the non…
