Abstract
In this section, two approaches in the theory of Casimir friction in the plate-plate configuration are considered. The first approach is based on the fluctuation electrodynamics proposed by Rytov [5–7]. In this approach the fluctuating electromagnetic field is considered as a classical field that can be calculated from Maxwell’s equation with the fluctuating current density as the source of the field, and with appropriate boundary conditions.
