Dubrava V. The Casimir effect in the system of thin metal films

Objects: The force between metal films which appear on account of fluctuating electromagnetic interaction of the electric currents. Goals: Studying of the effect of electronic properties of thin metal films on the Casimir attractive force between them. Methods: Analysis of dispersion equation; learning the conditions of dependence of the Casimir force on electronic properties of metal films; analytic accounting of the Casimir force. New results: Theoretical prediction of effect influence electronic properties of thin metal films on the Casimir force. The dependence of the Casimir force on the specularity parameter characterizing the electron-surface interaction is predicted. The theoretical description of the temperature dependence of the Casimir force between a thin metal films is given in this thesis.
