Abstract
AbstractIn traditional quantum electrodynamic derivation of a intermolecular van der Waals force, the molecules are assumed to be localized clusters of electrons. In this paper we have assumed the molecules to be localized clusters of bosons and have shown that the expression of the potential remains formally the same. This vindicates, through a microscopic derivation, the established concept that the van der Waals interaction is essentially a macroscopic phenomenon.
