    "abstract": "Based on macroscopic quantum electrodynamics in linearly and causally\nresponding media, we study the local-field corrected van der Waals potentials\nand forces for unpolarized ground-state atoms placed within a magnetoelectric\nmedium of arbitrary size and shape. We start from general expressions for the\nvan der Waals potentials in terms of the (classical) Green tensor of the\nelectromagnetic field and the atomic polarizability and incorporate the\nlocal-field correction by means of the real-cavity model. In this context,\nspecial emphasis is given to the decomposition of the Green tensor into a\nmedium part multiplied by a global local-field correction factor and, in the\nsingle-atom case, a part that only depends on the cavity characteristics. The\nresult is used to derive general formulas for the local-field corrected van der\nWaals potentials and forces. As an application, we calculate the van der Waals\npotential between two ground-state atoms placed within magnetoelectric bulk\nmaterial.",
