Spontaneous emission between an unusual pair of plates

Quantum Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We compute the modification in the spontaneous emission rate for a two-level atom when it is located between two parallel plates of different nature: a perfectly conducting plate (ϵ)(\epsilon\to \infty) and an infinitely permeable one (μ)(\mu\to \infty). We also discuss the case of two infinitely permeable plates. We compare our results with those found in the literature for the case of two perfectly conducting plates.
