Abstract

The Casimir surface force density on a compact spherical ball composed of matter satisfying the condition eμ=1 (e being the permittivity and μ the permeability) is calculated. The matter is taken to be non-dispersive. Schwinger's source theory is employed. The present calculation improves a previous calculation of the same effect by Brevik and Kolbenstvedt (1985) by four orders of magnitude in the Debye expansion. As before, the surface force is found to be repulsive.
