Abstract: | The potential is a reasonable parametrization of the atom-surface interaction. We evaluate the discrete spectrum En of bound states for this potential with arbitrary coefficients C9 and C3. The resulting form in the WKB approximation is , where L depends on the mass and D is the well depth. We find that the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation can be written in the same form, with n shifted slightly by an amount δn, which we calculate. The results are applied to the case of He near a NaF surface, in which the calculated eigenvalue spectrum agrees well with experimental values. |
