Body-assisted van der Waals interaction between two atoms
Hassan Safari, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Dirk-Gunnar Welsch +1
Using fourth-order perturbation theory, a general formula for the van der Waals potential of two neutral, unpolarized, ground-state atoms in the presence of an arbitrary arrangemen…
Local-field correction to the spontaneous decay rate of atoms embedded in bodies of finite size
Ho Trung Dung, Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Dirk-Gunnar Welsch
The influence of the size and shape of a dispersing and absorbing dielectric body on the local-field corrected spontaneous-decay of an excited atom embedded in the body is studied…
Microscopic origin of Casimir-Polder forces
Stefan Yoshi Buhmann, Hassan Safari, Dirk-Gunnar Welsch +1
We establish a general relation between dispersion forces. First, based on QED in causal media, leading-order perturbation theory is used to express both the single-atom Casimir-Po…
