Thermal emission has been the historic paradigm to understand quantization of energy, for light and matter. However, the universal far field blackbody radiation is not sufficient to account for the near field effects of the thermal emission [1]. When matter is heated up, surface polaritons at its boundary become thermally excited, and intense electromagnetic fields evanescently decay away from the...
Experimental studies of the atom-surface or surface-surface interactions provide a physical insight on the interaction of quantum bodies with the fluctuating vacuum. They can be of great practical interest in the ever expanding field of nanotechnologies. In particular the dependence of the Casimir and Casimir-Polder interaction on the thermal fluctuations is a fundamental effect that could in the...
