Spectroscopic Probe of the van der Waals Interaction between Polar Molecules and a Curved Surface
Giuseppe Bimonte, Thorsten Emig, Robert L. Jaffe +1
We study the shift of rotational levels of a diatomic polar molecule due to its van der Waals (vdW) interaction with a gently curved dielectric surface at temperature , and subm…
Nonequilibrium quantum fluctuations of a dispersive medium: Spontaneous emission, photon statistics, entropy generation, and stochastic motion
Mohammad F. Maghrebi, Robert L. Jaffe, Mehran Kardar
We study the implications of quantum fluctuations of a dispersive medium, under steady rotation, either in or out of thermal equilibrium with its environment. A rotating object exh…
Spontaneous emission by rotating objects: A scattering approach
Mohammad F. Maghrebi, Robert L. Jaffe, Mehran Kardar
We study the quantum electrodynamics (QED) vacuum in the presence of a body rotating along its axis of symmetry and show that the object spontaneously emits energy if it is lossy.…
Electromagnetic Casimir Forces of Parabolic Cylinder and Knife-Edge Geometries
Noah Graham, Alexander Shpunt, Thorsten Emig +3
An exact calculation of electromagnetic scattering from a perfectly conducting parabolic cylinder is employed to compute Casimir forces in several configurations. These include int…
Implications of the Babinet Principle for Casimir Interactions
Mohammad F. Maghrebi, Ronen Abravanel, Robert L. Jaffe
We formulate the Babinet Principle (BP) as a relation between the scattering amplitudes for electromagnetic waves, and combine it with multiple scattering techniques to derive new…
Casimir force between sharp-shaped conductors
Mohammad F. Maghrebi, Sahand Jamal Rahi, Thorsten Emig +3
Casimir forces between conductors at the sub-micron scale cannot be ignored in the design and operation of micro-electromechanical (MEM) devices. However, these forces depend non-t…
