Description

By utilizing alkali atoms and perfect surface of a metal between Van der Waals (vdW) interaction and irreducible tensor method. We get analytical expression of coefficient C3 of hyperfine levels of alkali atoms. C3 values corresponding to hyperfine levels of 133C3 excited states (62D3/2 (F = 2, 3, 4, 5)) are calculated. It is also shown that, the greater the F, the larger the C3, and the stronger the vdW interaction when z does not change, where z is the distance of an atom from the metal surface. At the same time for C31 effect is produced by the electric quadrupole moment because of no significant contribution, C3 numerical results did not meet with abnormal fluctuations. (authors)
