Medium-assisted van der Waals dispersion interactions involving chiral molecules

The van der Waals dispersion interaction between two chiral molecules in the presence of arbitrary magnetoelectric media is derived using perturbation theory. To be general, the molecular polarisabilities are assumed to be of electric, paramagnetic and diamagnetic natures, and the material environme...
