This anomalous behavior, which arises due to near-field effects, is explained using a heuristic model based on the interaction of a dipole with a plate. We show that nonmonotonicity depends not only on geometry and temperature but also on material dispersion{\textemdash}for micron and submicron objects, nonmonotonicity is present in polar dielectrics but absent in metals with small skin depths.}, year = {2013}, journal = {PRL}, volume = {110}, number = {1}, pages = {014301}, url = {http://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.014301}, }
