Radiation Pressure Approach to the Repulsive Casimir Force
Abstract
We study the Casimir force between a perfectly conducting and an infinitely permeable plate with the radiation pressure approach. This method illustrates how a repulsive force arises as a consequence of the redistribution of the vacuum-field modes corresponding to specific boundary conditions. We discuss also how the method of the zero-point radiation pressure follows from QED.
