Comment on Possible resolution of the Casimir force finite temperature correction controversies


Abstract in English

The recently suggested modification of the transverse electric contribution to the Lifshitz formula (S. K. Lamoreaux, arXiv:0801.1283) is discussed. We show that this modification is inconsistent with the data of two precise experiments, and violates the Nernst heat theorem. The preprints suggestion concerning the resolution of the apparent violation of the Third Law of Thermodynamics is shown to be incorrect.
