Casimir effect for scalar fields under Robin boundary conditions on plates

We study the Casimir effect for scalar fields with general curvature coupling subject to mixed boundary conditions (1 + β m n μ ∂ μ )φ = 0 at x = a m on one ( m = 1) and two ( m = 1, 2) parallel plates at a distance a ≡ a 2 − a 1 from each other.
