Repulsive and attractive Casimir interactions in liquids

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

The Casimir interactions in the solid-liquid-solid systems as a function of separation distance have been studied by the Lifshitz theory. The dielectric permittivity functions for a wide range of materials are described by Drude, Drude-Lorentz and oscillator models. We find that the Casimir forces between gold and silica or MgO materials are both the repulsive and attractive. We also find the stable forms for the systems. Our studies would provide a good guidance for the future experimental studies on the dispersion interactions.
