Microstructure effects for Casimir forces in chiral metamaterials
Microstructure effects for Casimir forces in chiral metamaterials
We examine a recent prediction for the chirality dependence of the Casimir force in chiral metamaterials by numerical computation of the forces between the exact microstructures, rather than homogeneous approximations. Although repulsion in the metamaterial regime is rigorously impossible, it is unknown whether a reduction in the attractive force can …
