• Abstract: Uncharged parallel plates in the misaligned system can experience a tangential Casimir force between them. We consider the role of magnetic response in this effect by extending the tangential force to magnetic media, and the extension is realized by working out the total zero-point energy of multilayered magnetodielectrics. Then we investigate the tangential force for real conductors by taking into account the temperature dependence of their dielectric constants, and obtain needed results for experimental investigations that are expected to be conducted at room temperature. Thereafter, we discuss a Casimir torque between parallel plates made of isotropic media, which offers a simple way to realize torques for uncharged surfaces.

  We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder. Our work paves the way towards microscopic study and control of quantum thermalization in strongly interacting disordered spin ensembles.

  We show that an isotropic dipolar particle in the vicinity of a substrate made of nonreciprocal plasmonic materials can experience a lateral Casimir force and torque. We connect the existence of the lateral force to the asymmetric dispersion of nonreciprocal surface polaritons and the existence of the lateral torque to the spin-momentum locking of such surface waves.

  Electrical control of spins at the nanoscale offers architectural advantages in spintronics. Recent demonstrations of electric-field (E-field) sensitivities in molecular spin materials are tantalising. E-field sensitivities reported so far are rather weak, prompting the question of how to design molecules with stronger spin-electric couplings.

  We find the low-temperature behavior of the Casimir-Polder free energy for a polarizable and magnetizable atom interacting with a plate made of ferromagnetic dielectric material. It is shown that the corresponding Casimir-Polder entropy goes to zero with vanishing temperature, i.e., the Nernst heat theorem is satisfied, if the dc conductivity of the plate material is disregarded in calculations.
