Abstract

In this work, we study a system of the Casimir effect for mixed scalar fields under the influence of an external magnetic field. We use the Dirichlet boundary condition to represent the property of the plates. For this system, we calculated the Casimir energy considering both mass and flavor vacuum states. In addition, we also investigate the ratio of the influence of the strong magnetic field to that of the weak one for the Casimir energy. We find that the Casimir energy decreases as the magnetic field increases.
