Abstract

The dispersion interaction between a He atom and a solid has the form V ~ -C3z-3 at large distance. We calculate the value of C3 for several cases (Ge, Si, GaAs, and diamond) using experimental results for ε2(ω). The model dielectric function of Breckenridge, Shaw and Sher is found to yield good agreement with the value of C3 obtained from experimental data.
