In this work, it is shown that a non-zero vacuum energy density (the Casimir
energy) for a scalar field appears in a continuous elastic solid due to the
presence of a topological defect, the screw dislocation. An exact expression is
obtained for this energy density in terms of the Burgers vector describing the
defect, for zero and finite temperature.
