Theory of the Casimir interaction for graphene-coated substrates using   the polarization tensor and comparison with experiment
  We propose a theory of the thermal Casimir interaction for multilayered test bodies coated with a graphene sheet. The reflection coefficients on such structures are expressed in terms of the components of the polarization tensor and the dielectric permittivities of material layers. The developed theory is applied to calculate the gradient of the Casimir force between an Au-coated sphere and a graphene sheet deposited on a SiO${}_2$ film covering a Si plate, which is the configuration of a recent experiment performed by means of a dynamic atomic force microscope. The theoretical results are found to be in very good agreement with the experimental data. We thus confirm that graphene influences the Casimir interaction and can be used for tailoring the force magnitude in nanostructures.
