Abstract

An atom (B) situated near a plane of atoms (A) experiences an interaction potential energy V = (V₂ + V₃ + ... The leading term is the sum over the monlayer of 2-body interactions. We compute here the 3-body correction V₃. Numerical results are presented for the case of noble gases, H and CH₄. For H or He near a Xe layer, V₃ reduces the well depth by ~ 10%.
