✦ Synopsis
We reconsider the Casimir (van der Waals) forces between dielectrics with plane, parallel surfaces for arbitrary temperature, using the methods of source theory. The general results of Lifshitz are confirmed, and are shown to imply the correct forces on metal surfaces. The same phenomena give rise to contributions to the surface tension and the latent heat of an idealized liquid, contributions, which, unfortunately, are not well defined since they depend upon a momentum cutoff. However, with a reasonable value for this cutoff, qualitative agreement with the experimentally observed surface tension and latent heat of liquid helium at absolute zero is obtained.
