TL;DR
This paper defends the use of the Drude dispersion relation in the Lifshitz formula for Casimir force calculations, asserting it remains thermodynamically consistent even as relaxation frequency approaches zero.
Contribution
It provides a rebuttal affirming the validity of the Drude model in Casimir force computations, countering prior critiques.
Findings
Drude model remains thermodynamically consistent
Lifshitz formula with Drude dispersion is valid for perfect crystals
No contradiction in zero relaxation frequency limit
Abstract
In this Reply to the preceding Comment of Klimchitskaya and Mostepanenko (cf. also quant-ph/0703214), we summarize and maintain our position that the Drude dispersion relation when inserted in the Lifshitz formula gives a thermodynamically satisfactory description of the Casimir force, also in the limiting case when the relaxation frequency goes to zero (perfect crystals).
