The multipolar formalism for a system of molecules developed in paper I (first preceding paper) is applied to a molecular pair to calculate the rate of energy transfer and intermolecular potential energies. In these calculations, one of the molecules is treated as passive when placed in the Maxwell field of the other. The electromagnetic field is calculated with the use of the Heisenberg picture as in paper II (second preceding paper). For resonance transfer between identical molecules, it is sufficient to consider the first-order fields to obtain the F\"orster rate. For nonidentical molecules, the probability of excitation transfer as a function of time is found with the use of the Heisenberg fields. A noteworthy feature of the calculations of dispersion energy is that with the use of electromagnetic fields, correct to quadratic terms in the transition moments, the complete Casimir-Polder intermolecular potential energy can be obtained by the consideration of one molecule as a test polarizable body in the field of the other.read more

A unified theory of radiative and radiationless molecular energy transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that Forster's result arises as the short-range limit of a more general dipoledipole interaction based on virtual photon coupling, and the result can be identified with the classical result for radiative transfer.

Non-local correlations in quantum electrodynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a pair of initially uncorrelated bare atoms, separated by a distance R, develop non-local statistical correlations in a time t t.

Plasmon-Coupled Resonance Energy Transfer
TL;DR: An explicit Förster-type expression for the rate of plasmon-coupled resonance energy transfer (PC-RET) is derived and the concept of a generalized spectral overlap (GSO) J̃ is developed for understanding the wavelength dependence of PC-RET.

William J. Meath,E A Power +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the rates for multiphoton absorption by molecules in the regime where perturbation theory is valid and the importance of contributions to the rates of permanent moments is shown.
