Abstract: We extend our approach to the Casimir effect between absorbing dielectric multilayers [M.S. Tomaš, Phys. Rev. A 66 (2002) 052103] to magnetodielectric systems. The resulting expression for the force is used to numerically explore the effect of the medium dispersion on the attractive/repulsive force in a metal-magnetodielectric system described by the Drude–Lorentz permittivities and permeabilities.
