| Abstract: | The interatomic potentials in a system of an excited Na or K atom and an inert gas atom are calculated on the basis of the
effective pseudopotential method, using a new form of the polarization interaction potential obtained by calculating the most
important polarization diagrams of perturbation theory in the Thomas-Fermi approximation. The results of a calculation, on
its basis, of the intermolecular terms of this van der Waals system are given, refining the existing data; some of the results
have been obtained for the first time. A comparison is made with the available experimental and theoretical data.
