Phys. Rev. A 64, 032102 (2001) [4 pages]Long-range Casimir-Polder-Feinberg-Sucher intermolecular potential at nonzero temperatureReceived 19 April 2001; published 9 August 2001 A simple Hamiltonian determines in closed form the potential of the long-range force between two fixed molecules polarizable magnetically as well as electrically, exposed to blackbody radiation at temperature T. The results apply provided kT≪ħΩ and at separations ρ≫c/Ω, with ħΩ a typical molecular excitation energy. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
