Physical Adsorption: Rare-Gas Atoms on Solid Surfaces. Final Report, June 1, 1980-September 30, 1982

摘要

The areas of major progress are a quantitative understanding of band structure effects for He on graphite, the substrate modification of the He-He interaction on graphite, the nature of a universal physisorption potential, and the asymptotic coefficient C sub 3 of the van der Waals interaction between an atom and a surface. These calculations have been largely confirmed by very precise experiments, indicating the growing sophistication of this field. Their conclusions can be generalized and extended to a variety of other systems and problems. (ERA citation 08:016485)
