Notes:
The Casimir-Polder retarded dispersion energy is calculated for non-symmetric molecules and the energy is expressed in terms of body fixed axes for the dipole transition moments on each molecule. In the special case of molecules with cylindrical symmetry the potential energy is given in terms of the transverse and longitudinal polarizabilities and in terms of the angles defining the orientation of the axes of the molecules with respect to the intermolecular direction. In the limit of no retardation (R ≪ λ) the result becomes that of London and in the opposite limit of full retardation at large R the potential energy tends to that of Craig and Power.
