dc.description.abstract | Recently the Casimir effect has been getting more popular because of | |
dc.description.abstract | its importance in designing micro and nano scale machines. Working in | |
dc.description.abstract | the language of quantum field theory simplified formulas for the | |
dc.description.abstract | Casimir energy for a massless scalar field are worked out. These | |
dc.description.abstract | formulas are applied to planar potentials and potentials in the | |
dc.description.abstract | annular region between two co-axial cylinders. A scalar equivalent to | |
dc.description.abstract | the Lifshitz formula is applied to new cases of non-trivial planar | |
dc.description.abstract | potentials, specifically two interacting linear potentials and two | |
dc.description.abstract | interacting quadratic potentials. In addition many exact expressions | |
dc.description.abstract | for the Casimir energy between two weakly coupled objects are worked | |
dc.description.abstract | out for many non-trivial geometries. Exact closed form results are shown | |
dc.description.abstract | for parallel cylinders, spheres, and finite ribbons and plates. These | |
dc.description.abstract | closed form results are used to check the range of validity of the | |
dc.description.abstract | proximity force approximation. | |
