Retarded dipole-dipole dispersion interaction potential for helium

Retarded dipole-dipole dispersion interaction potential for helium.

Electric dipole polarizabilities and C6 dipole-dipole dispersion coefficients for sodium clusters and C60.

The frequency-dependent polarizabilities of closed-shell sodium clusters containing up to 20 atoms have been calculated using the linear complex polarization propagator approach in conjunction with Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham density functional theories. In combination with polarizabilities for C(60) from a previous work [J. Chem. Phys. 123, 124312 (2005)], the C(6) dipole-dipole dispersion coef...

Electric dipole polarizabilities and C6 dipole-dipole dispersion coefficients for alkali metal clusters and C60

The frequency dependent polarizabilities of closed-shell alkali metal clusters containing up to ten lithium, potassium, and rubidium atoms have been calculated using the linear complex polarization propagator approach in conjunction with Hartree–Fock and Kohn–Sham density functional theory. In combination with polarizabilities for C60 from a previous work [J. Chem. Phys. 123, 124312 (2005)], th...

Spatially resolved observation of dipole-dipole interaction between Rydberg atoms.

We have observed resonant energy transfer between cold Rydberg atoms in spatially separated cylinders. Resonant dipole-dipole coupling excites the 49s atoms in one cylinder to the 49p state while the 41d atoms in the second cylinder are transferred down to the 42p state. We have measured the production of the 49p state as a function of separation of the cylinders (0-80 microm) and the interacti...

Dipole-dipole interaction in a photonic crystal nanocavity

We put forward a general classical approach to obtain the quantum dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) between two two-level “atoms” in arbitrary nanostructures, in which the transfer rate of the DDI is analytically expressed as the difference between the two classical dipoles’ total radiation power and the sum of the two individual dipole’s radiation powers. The radiation power can be calculated by...
