Abstract

This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on vacuum structures and their effects in Quantum Electrodynamics. References to books and journal articles that deal with perturbative vacuum effects as well as nonperturbative processes in extremely strong external fields like spontaneous positron production in strong Coulomb fields are provided.
