(2010-07-14)We study thoroughly Casimir energy and Casimir force in a rectangular cavity and piston with various boundary conditions, for both scalar field and electromagnetic (EM) field. Using the cylinder kernel approach, we find ...
-
(2014-08-13)In this paper, we examine the Casimir interaction between a scalar field and a boundary analogous to a conducting wall with some small but finite skin depth to electromagnetic radiation with the goal of calculating the ...

(2011-08-08)In the first section of my research, in analogy with the standard derivation of the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild solution of the Einstein field equations, I find all static, cylindrically symmetric solutions of the ...
-
(2012-04-18)In my previous thesis for the Undergraduate Research Scholars program I have calculated, both in terms of the scalar field and in terms of the cylinder kernel, the components of the stress-energy tensor of a quantized ...

In the study of vacuum energy and the Casimir effect, it proves convenient to model the parallel conducting plates by a “soft” wall of the form v(z) = z^α rather than the standard Dirichlet wall. This model, for instance, ...
