Phys. Rev. A 62, 062501 (2000) [5 pages]Long-range interaction of two metastable rare-gas atomsReceived 30 May 2000; published 27 October 2000 We present semiempirical calculations of long-range van der Waals interactions for two interacting metastable rare-gas atoms Ne through Xe. Dispersion coefficients C6 are obtained for homonuclear molecular potentials asymptotically connecting to the ns(3/2)2+ns(3/2)2 atomic states. The estimated uncertainty of the calculated C6 dispersion coefficients is 4%. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
