Measuring the effect of electrostatic patch potentials in Casimir force experiments
The Casimir force is a consequence of quantum electrodynamic fluctuations, which induce interactions between materials. Patch potentials (i.e., spatial variations of electrostatic potentials across a surface) are a concern in measurements of the Casimir force because they can cause an additional for...
