Long-range Casimir forces : theory and recent experiments on atomic systems /
Written for the nonspecialist, this book reviews current experimental and theoretical research on long-range forces of the Casimir-Polder type as related to atomic traps and their stability, atomic clocks, and binding forces between surfaces. Researchers and graduate students in solid-state, molecul...
