VACUUM ENERGY IN THE PRESENCE OF DIELECTRIC AND CONDUCTING SURFACES
The polarization of the electromagnetic vacuum is examined in the neighborhood of dielectric and conducting surfaces and the energy associated with this polarization is shown to depend on a cutoff related to the microstructure of the boundary. The appearance of the cutoff permits the vacuum energy t...
