摘要

We derive Casimir-Polder and van der Waals potentials of one or two atoms with diamagnetic properties in an arbitrary environment of magnetoelectric bodies. The calculations are based on macroscopic quantum electrodynamics and leading-order perturbation theory. For the examples of an atom and a perfect mirror and two atoms in free space, we show that diamagnetic dispersion potentials have the same sign as their electric counterparts but can exhibit quite different distance dependences.
