First-Order Dispersion Forces
Abstract
The interaction energy between two atoms, one of which is excited, is investigated. The form of the interaction depends on the relation between the distance R separating the atoms and the wavelength k1—1 of the transition from the ground state to the excited state. If k1R<1 the photon may be trapped between the two atoms leading to the well-known dipole—dipole interaction. If k1R>1 the interaction is small, the state of the interacting atoms is not a stationary state and the photon is emitted after a time determined by the spontaneous emission probability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
