We study $N$-electron atoms with nuclear charge $Z$. It is well known that, in the cationic ($Z > N$) high-$Z$ region, the atom behaves as a weakly interacting system. The anionic ($Z < N$) regime, on the other hand, is characterized by an…
We investigate the van der Waals interaction between neutrons using the theory of Casimir and Polder, wherein the potential for asymptotically large separations falls off as the inverse seventh power, and compare it to the similar…

In this paper we give an application of Dalgarno-Lewis method, the latter not usually taught in quantum mechanics courses. This is very unfortunate since this method allows to bypass the sum over states appearing in the usual perturbation…
