We investigate the thermal Casimir interaction of a suspended graphene described by the Dirac model with a plate made of dielectric or metallic materials. The reflection coefficients on graphene expressed in terms of a temperature-dependent polarization tensor are used. We demonstrate that for a graphene with nonzero mass gap parameter the Casimir free energy remains nearly constant (and the thermal correction negligibly small) over some temperature interval. For the interaction of graphene with metallic plate, the free energy is nearly the same, irrespective of whether the metal is nonmagnetic or magnetic and whether it is described using the Drude- or plasma-model approaches. The free energy computed using the Dirac model was compared with that computed using the hydrodynamic model of graphene and big differences accessible for experimental observation have been found. For dielectric and nonmagnetic metallic plates described by the Drude model these differences vanish with increasing temperature (separation). However, for nonmagnetic metals described by the plasma model and for magnetic metals, a severe dependence on the chosen theoretical description of graphene remains even at high temperature. In all cases the analytic asymptotic expressions for the free energy at high temperature are obtained and found in a very good agreement with the results of numerical computations.

基于热量子场论的松原公式,重新考虑了两块不同厚度介质板之间的Casimir和van der Waals相互作用。我们简要地回顾了在热量子场论的框架下,不使用涨落耗散定理的Lifshitz公式的两个主要推导。一组特殊的条件下,这些推导仍然有效的耗散的存在下,制定。低温行为的Casimir和范德华力之间的相互作用不同的介电常数被发现分析从Lifshitz理论的理想化模型的稀介电常数和真正的介电常数与有限的静态介电常数。在低温下卡西米尔和范德华相互作用的自由能、压力和熵证明了与以前发现的理想金属相同的对温度的普遍依赖性。熵在温度为零时消失,证明了能斯特热定理的正确性。这解决了长期存在的问题的一致性的利弗希茨理论与热力学的情况下,电介质板。得到的渐近表达式进行比较,数值计算的不同和类似的真正的时间和发现是非常好的协议。在介质板的情况下,零频率项的松原和的作用进行了研究。它表明,包括电导率的介电响应模型导致违反能斯特热定理。讨论了这一结果在非接触原子摩擦和实际金属间Casimir相互作用等热点问题中的应用。
