Abstract
It is shown that the fundamental results obtained in the works by Levin et al. (1980) and Polevoi (1990), based on the fluctuation-electromagnetic theory by Levin and Rytov, adequately describe the rate of radiative heat exchange and the frictional force in a system of two parallel thick plates in relative lateral motion. A numerically calculated friction force for Drude metals and thin gaps turns out to be by a factor 107 higher than earlier obtained by Polevoi and increases with decreasing temperature (increasing relaxation time of electrons).
