Title: Calculation of the interaction potential for excited alkali element atoms with the mercury atom. Rb{sup *}-Hg interaction

Journal Article · · Russian Physics Journal

Using a new form for the polarization interaction potential obtained by calculating the most important polarization diagrams of perturbation theory in the Thomas-Fermi approximation, the pseudopotential method is employed to calculate interatomic potentials in a system alkali element in ground and excited states - mercury atom. Calculations of quasimolecular terms based on this technique are presented for the system A-Hg, where A = Na, Rb, some for the first time. A comparison is made to available experimental and theoretical data.
