Numerical evaluations are given with temperature and conductivity effects treated simultaneously. The results are compared with the approximation where both effects are treated independently and the corrections simply multiplied. The deviation between the exact and approximated results takes the form of a temperature dependent function for which an analytical expression is given. The knowledge of this function allows simple and accurate estimations at the % level.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-02-23T09:10:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "temperature dependence", "casimir effect", "temperature dependent function", "plane metallic mirrors", "free energy" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
