Abstract

We investigate the Fermionic Casimir effect at finite temperature for two parallel chain of adatoms in a Graphene sheet, and the corresponding Casimir force is interpreted as an interaction between the adatom chains. We apply useful techniques to find asymptotically explicit expressions for the Casimir energy, for small as well as large temperatures (with respect to the effective temperature of the Graphene). We obtain a value in the order of 102N/m10^{-2} N/m for the Casimir force between (per unit length of) the adatom chains being one nanometer apart, which is considerably noticeable e.g. in comparison to the experimental values for built-in tension of a suspended Graphene sheet.
