用导电氧化物使Casimir力减半:实验细节

Halving the Casimir force with conductive oxides: experimental details

Sven de Man, Kier Heeck, Davide Iannuzzi

摘要:

这项工作是去年发表在《物理评论快报》上的一篇论文的扩展版本[S。de Man等人,物理修订信函103,040402(2009)],其中我们提出了对涂覆有金的球体与涂覆有金或氧化铟锡(ITO)层的板之间的卡西米尔力的测量。在空气中进行的实验表明,ITO具有足够的导电性,可以防止电荷积累,但与金相比,仍然足够透明,可以将Casimir吸引力减半。在这里,我们报告了所有的实验细节,由于可用空间有限,在前一篇文章中被省略了。我们讨论了我们的设置在校准过程的稳定性和Casimir力测量的再现性方面的性能。我们还介绍和演示了一种新的技术,以获得我们的力传感器的弹性常数。此外,我们提出了一个彻底的描述的实验方法,全面的数据阐述和误差分析的解释,并在实际实验中使用的样品的介电函数和表面粗糙度的完整表征。

英文摘要:

This work is an extended version of a paper published last year in Physical Review Letters [S. de Man et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 040402 (2009)], where we presented measurements of the Casimir force between a gold coated sphere and a plate coated with either gold or an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer. The experiment, which was performed in air, showed that ITO is sufficiently conducting to prevent charge accumulation, but still transparent enough to halve the Casimir attraction when compared to gold. Here, we report all the experimental details that, due to the limited space available, were omitted in the previous article. We discuss the performance of our setup in terms of stability of the calibration procedure and reproducibility of the Casimir force measurement. We also introduce and demonstrate a new technique to obtain the spring constant of our force sensor. Furthermore, we present a thorough description of the experimental method, a comprehensive explanation of data elaboration and error analysis, and a complete characterization of the dielectric function and of the surface roughness of the samples used in the actual experiment.
