چکیده

The van der Waals coefficients for the alkali-metal atoms from Na to Fr interacting in their ground states, are calculated using relativistic ab initio methods. The accuracy of the calculations is estimated by also evaluating atomic static electric dipole polarizabilities and coefficients for the interaction of the atoms with a perfectly conducting wall. The results are in excellent agreement with the latest data from ultra-cold collisions and from studies of magnetic field induced Feshbach resonances in Na and Rb. For Cs we provide critically needed data for ultra-cold collision studies. PACS: 34.20.Mq, 32.10.Dk, 34.50.Dy, 31.15.Ar Typeset using REVTEX

Electric dipole polarizabilities and C6 dipole-dipole dispersion coefficients for alkali metal clusters and C60

The frequency dependent polarizabilities of closed-shell alkali metal clusters containing up to ten lithium, potassium, and rubidium atoms have been calculated using the linear complex polarization propagator approach in conjunction with Hartree–Fock and Kohn–Sham density functional theory. In combination with polarizabilities for C60 from a previous work [J. Chem. Phys. 123, 124312 (2005)], th...

Analysis of Polarizability Measurements Made with Atom Interferometry

We present revised measurements of the static electric dipole polarizabilities of K, Rb, and Cs based on atom interferometer experiments presented in [Phys. Rev. A 2015, 92, 052513] but now re-analyzed with new calibrations for the magnitude and geometry of the applied electric field gradient. The resulting polarizability values did not change, but the uncertainties were significantly reduced. ...
