Divergencies in the Casimir energy for a medium with realistic ultraviolet behaviour
Divergencies in the Casimir energy for a medium with realistic ultraviolet behaviour
We consider a dielectric medium with an ultraviolet behaviour as follows from the Drude model. Compared with dilute models, this has the advantage that, for large frequencies, two different media behave in the same way. As a result one expects the Casimir energy to contain fewer divergencies than for the …
