arXiv:physics/9611003 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.55.1530
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.
