Casimir effect between spherical objects: Proximity-force approximation and beyond using plane waves

T Schoger, B Spreng, GL Ingold… - International Journal of …, 2022 - World Scientific
For the Casimir interaction between two nearby objects, the plane-wave basis proves
convenient for numerical calculations as well as for analytical considerations leading to an …

Casimir interaction between a plane and a sphere: Correction to the proximity-force approximation at intermediate temperatures

V Henning, B Spreng, PAM Neto, GL Ingold - Universe, 2021 - mdpi.com
We consider the Casimir interaction energy between a plane and a sphere of radius R at
finite temperature T as a function of the distance of closest approach L. Typical experimental …

Optical and dispersion forces experienced by spherical objects

T Schoger - 2024 - opus.bibliothek.uni-augsburg.de
We study electromagnetic forces exerted on spherical objects, which either arise from
quantum and thermal fluctuations of the electromagnetic field or from an externally applied …
