We determine the Casimir energies and forces in a variety of potentially experimentally viable setups, consisting of parallel plates made of perfect electromagnetic conductors (PEMCs), which generalize perfect electric conductors (PECs) and perfect magnetic conductors (PMCs), and Weyl semimetals (WSMs). Where comparison is possible, our results agree with the Casimir forces calculated elsewhere in the literature, albeit with different methods. We find a multitude of known but also new cases where repulsive Casimir forces are in principle possible, but restricting the setup to PECs combined with the aforementioned WSM geometry, results in purely attractive Casimir forces.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. Non-Abelian Casimir energy in the Curci-Ferrari model through a functional approach

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the Curci-Ferrari model, the non-Abelian Casimir energy between magnetic-conductor plates is 3/2 times that for electric-conductor plates, and the massless limit is discontinuous (vDVZ-like), with the same pattern ...

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    DEM boundary conditions on two parallel plates yield the same Casimir energy as perfectly conducting plates, after restoring BRST invariance with boundary ghost fields.
