Abstract
The effect of temperature for the Casimir force is calculated for a system of two different parallel plates, one being a perfect conductor and the oth er infinitely permeable. The analysis of high and low temperature is develo ped via the behaviour of the Casimir free energy and entropy. In particular , in the case of high-temperature limit, it is shown that the repulsive cha racter of the Casimir force between the plates is purely entropic. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
