We study critical Casimir forces (CCF) $f_{mathrm C}$ for films of thickness $L$ which in the three-dimensional bulk belong to the Ising universality class and which are exposed to random surface fields (RSF) on both surfaces. We consider the case that, in the absence of RSF, the surfaces of the film belong to the surface universality class of the so-called ordinary transition. We carry out a finite-size scaling analysis and show that for weak disorder CCF still exhibit scaling, acquiring a random field scaling variable $w$ which is zero for pure systems. We confirm these analytic predictions by MC simulations. Moreover, our MC data show that $f_{mathrm C}$ varies as $f_{mathrm C}(wto 0)-f_{mathrm C}(w=0)sim w^2$. Asymptotically, for large $L$, $w$ scales as $w sim L^{-0.26} to 0$ indicating that this type of disorder is an irrelevant perturbation of the ordinary surface universality class. However, for thin films such that $w simeq 1$, we find that the presence of RSF with vanishing mean value increases significantly the strength of CCF, as compared to systems without them, and shifts the extremum of the scaling function of $f_{mathrm C}$ towards lower temperatures. But $f_{mathrm C}$ remains attractive.
Monte Carlo simulations based on an integration scheme for free energy differences is used to compute critical Casimir forces for three-dimensional Ising films with various boundary fields. We study the scaling behavior of the critical Casimir force,
We present a new Monte Carlo method to calculate Casimir forces acting on objects in a near-critical fluid, considering the two basic cases of a wall and a sphere embedded in a two-dimensional Ising medium. During the simulation, the objects are move
Using general scaling arguments combined with mean-field theory we investigate the critical ($T simeq T_c$) and off-critical ($T e T_c$) behavior of the Casimir forces in fluid films of thickness $L$ governed by dispersion forces and exposed to long-
The confinement of critical fluctuations in soft media induces critical Casimir forces acting on the confining surfaces. The temperature and geometry dependences of such forces are characterized by universal scaling functions. A novel approach is pre
We numerically test an experimentally realizable method for the extraction of the critical Casimir force based on its thermodynamic definition as the derivative of the excess free energy with respect to system size. Free energy differences are estima
