On The Orientation Dependence Of The Casimir Force, Christopher David Markle
On The Orientation Dependence Of The Casimir Force, Christopher David Markle
All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)
In the 83 years of its development, Casimir force theory has seen many advances.
However, there still exists a need for more comprehensive approaches, particularly to complex geometries. To this end we have developed an approach to the Casimir force and demonstrated its use in predicting the Casimir force present in many cases such as the case of a single hollow sphere, finite size parallel plates, and anisotropic conductors.
Within the field of Casimir force experimentation, many predicted characteristics have not yet been demonstrated. To that end, we are performing an experiment designed to investigate the orientational dependence of the …
