Abstract

We propose an approximation V_a(r) for the Van der Waals interaction V(r) between an atom and a non-planar solid. V_a(r) is both simpler to compute than V(r) and of considerably more convenient form. The approximation is found to be quite good except for very large z (the atom-surface separation). In the latter case, our comparison of V_a and V permits one to estimate corrections to V_a.
