The Casimir effect for a sphere and a cylinder in front of plane and corrections to the proximity force theorem
Abstract
Description
Using a path integral approach we rederive a recently found representation of the Casimir energy for a sphere and a cylinder in front of a plane and derive the first correction to the proximity force theorem.
