Retarded long-range potentials for the alkali-metal atoms and a perfectly conducting wall

Atomic Physics 2008-02-03 v1

Abstract

The retarded long-range potentials for hydrogen and alkali-metal atoms in their ground states and a perfectly conducting wall are calculated. The potentials are given over a wide range of atom-wall distances and the validity of the approximations used is established.
