Derivative expansion for the electromagnetic Casimir free energy at high temperatures

We study the contribution of the thermal zero modes to the Casimir free energy in the case of a fluctuating electromagnetic (EM) field in the presence of real materials described by frequency-dependent, local and isotropic permittivity (ε) and permeability (μ) functions. Those zero modes, present at...
