Casimir Interaction between a Plane and a Sphere: Correction to the Proximity-Force Approximation at Intermediate Temperatures

We consider the Casimir interaction energy between a plane and a sphere of radius <i>R</i> at finite temperature <i>T</i> as a function of the distance of closest approach <i>L</i>. Typical experimental conditions are such that the thermal wavelength <inline-fo...
