Generalized Casimir Energies for systems with arbitrary (ε(z)) planar geometry
Abstract
The Casimir force between parallel plates of arbitrary kind is shown to be simply related to the plates transmission and reflection coefficient. A trivial application of this general relation leads to the known Lifshitz force between dielectrics as well as its generalizations.
