Van der Waals-London interaction of atoms with pseudo-relativistic kinetic energy
Van der Waals-London interaction of atoms with pseudo-relativistic kinetic energy
We consider a multiatomic system where the nuclei are assumed to be point charges at fixed positions. Particles interact via Coulomb potential and electrons have pseudo-relativistic kinetic energy. We prove the van der Waals-London law, which states that the interaction energy between neutral atoms decays as the sixth power of …
