Oh crap - written - I'll have to hunt but are you looking for science papers, news-stories or books. There's always "A universe from nothing" from Krauss himself which is a great place to start. That does cover his definitions of nothing but not in great details. Its the furore since that has brought it up. There are some letters I saw somewhere (emails in reality) between Krauss and various other physicists but I can't remember where they were and they were only extracts.

There's a report on one of the debates at http://www.livescience.com/28132-what-is...ebate.html

And an explanation of how difficult it is to get to nothing at http://scienceblogs.com/startswithabang/...g-the-phi/

Any good?
