    "abstract": "We show the influence of surface plasmons on the Casimir effect between two\nplane parallel metallic mirrors at arbitrary distances. Using the plasma model\nto describe the optical response of the metal, we express the Casimir energy as\na sum of contributions associated with evanescent surface plasmon modes and\npropagative cavity modes. In contrast to naive expectations, the plasmonic\nmodes contribution is essential at all distances in order to ensure the correct\nresult for the Casimir energy. One of the two plasmonic modes gives rise to a\nrepulsive contribution, balancing out the attractive contributions from\npropagating cavity modes, while both contributions taken separately are much\nlarger than the actual value of the Casimir energy. This also suggests\npossibilities to tailor the sign of the Casimir force via surface plasmons.",
