We extend our approach to the Casimir effect between absorbing dielectric
multilayers [M. S. Tomas, Phys. Rev. A 66, 052103 (2002)] 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.Comment: 12 pages, 5 eps figures, revised, accepted for publication in Phys.
