1207.0224 (V. M. Gorkavenko et al.)

Casimir force induced by an impenetrable flux tube of finite radius    [PDF]

V. M. Gorkavenko, Yu. A. Sitenko, O. B. Stepanov
A perfectly reflecting (Dirichlet) boundary condition at the edge of an impenetrable magnetic-flux-carrying tube of nonzero transverse size is imposed on the charged massive scalar matter field which is quantized outside the tube. We show that the vacuum polarization effects give rise to a macroscopic force acting at the increase of the tube radius under the steady magnetic flux.
