(Small) bibliography on the Casimir Effect
compiled by James F. Babb
It seems as if a new study appears every day touching on Casimir
effects or Casimir forces—I will continue to add here some of
those papers (and others) as before. Click
here for a
straight search of Casimir effect
and Casimir force in titles of some arXiv
preprints of the last year to get an idea of the rate of paper appearance.
(A convenient but not exhaustive Casimir effect search tool!)
Here is a another search tool
with greater scope (Casimir effect, Casimir force,
and Casimir-Polder in all records from now back to 2009).
This page contains a (small) bibliography.
Last update September 30, 2014.
Before jumping down
for the rest of the bibliography, check out
Casimir effects, a group in Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics on Mendeley.
It
is regularly updated with
historically important papers and with recent noteworthy (to me) papers.
This is a nice tool that will allow you to generate citation information,
to research related papers and to see what others are interested in, etc.

S. K. Lamoreaux published a paper detailing experiments showing the
presence of the Casimir effect for two conducting plates (well, actually
a lens and a plate) with separations of the order of microns. See the

erratum, 81, 5475-6 (1998).

Lamoreaux presented an analysis of the interaction between conducting
plates for Au, Cu, and Al in Calculation of the Casimir force between
imperfectly conducting plates, Phys. Rev. A, 59 (1999),
R3149-R3153. Later workers reanalyzed the details of the calculation of
the dielectric function in Lamoreaux's analysis, see A. Lambrecht and S.
Reynaud, Phys. Rev. Lett., 84 (2000), 5672, and corrected a
fitting error, see M. Bostrom and Bo E. Sernelius, Comment on
"Calculation of the Casimir force between imperfectly conducting
