Reaction Field Induced Interatomic Forces Between Atoms in the Presense of a Strong Magnetic Field

Description: It is shown that the reaction field induced in an atom by a strong magnetic field is of order B{alpha}² in atomic units (for magnetic field strength B and fine structure constant {alpha}).
