Motivations - Aplication in Mems/Nems “Non-contact rack and pinion powered by the lateral Casimir force”: Ashourvan, Miri, Golestanian, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 140801 (2007) [1]. (talk by Golestanian). “Casimir force driven ratchets”: T. Emig, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 160801 (2007) [2]. Figures from [1] and [2]. Motivations - Aplication in Mems/Nems When the corrugations are not aligned, the rotational symmetry is broken and a Casimir torque arise to minimize the system’s energy. Motivations - Investigation of the non-trivial geometry dependence of the Casimir energy The Proximity Force Approximation (PFA) connect plane-plane (PP) and curved geometries. Basic idea: replace the curved surface by a set of differential planes, and add contributions of each plane. Valid for corrugation wavelengthsplate separation. (Talk by Reynaud, Talk by Dalvit): Scattering approach for non-planar surfaces is a theoretical model beyond the PFA. Perturbative approach requires but allows arbitrary corrugation wavelengths with respect to plate separation. Others approachs beyond PFA: worldline numerics, Gies, Klingmuller, Phys.Rev.Lett. (2006); talk by Bordag. Other proposal: torque between birefringent plates J N Munday, D Iannuzzi and F Capasso, New Journal of Physics 8 (2006) 244 [3]. Y. Barash, Izv. Vyssh. Uchebn.
