Lifshitz theory of atom-wall interaction with applications to quantum reflection
The Casimir-Polder interaction of an atom with a metallic wall is investigated in the framework of the Lifshitz theory. It is demonstrated that in some temperature (separation) region the Casimir-Polder entropy takes negative values and goes to zero when the temperature vanishes. This result is obtained both for an ideal …
