Casimir-Lifshitz force out of thermal equilibrium and heat transfer between arbitrary bodies
Casimir-Lifshitz force out of thermal equilibrium and heat transfer between arbitrary bodies
We study the Casimir-Lifshitz force and the radiative heat transfer occurring between two arbitrary bodies, each one held at a given temperature, surrounded by environmental radiation at a third temperature. The system, in stationary configuration out of thermal equilibrium, is characterized by a force and a heat transfer depending on …
