Van der Waals Attraction of Hydrogen Atoms
The potential energy of attraction between hydrogen atoms spaced by distance R on the order of a B /α, where a B is the Bohr radius and α = e 2 / c = 1/137 is the fine structure constant, has been determined. The energy depends of R according to the law of R –6 at distances a B ≪ R ≪ a B /α and acco...
