Vacuum polarization in molecules I: Uehling interaction

D. J. Flynn, I. P. Grant, H. M. Quiney

Radiative corrections to electronic structure are characterized by perturbative expansions in $α$ and $Z α$ , where $α$ is the fine-structure constant and $Z$ is the nuclear charge.…

Vacuum polarization in molecules II: higher order corrections

D. J. Flynn, I. P. Grant, H. M. Quiney

We outline a general formalism for treating vacuum polarization phenomena within an effective field expansion. The coupling between source charges and virtual fields is examined fr…
