Sažetak
Attractive electrostatic potential between a helium atom and the jellium surface is studied using the non-local dynamically screened Coulomb interaction which describes the electronic (single particle and collective) fluctuations in the metal. It is shown that the detailed form of the atomic matrix elements and the higher multipole contributions lead to the strong modification of the van der Waals attraction even when one neglects the dispersion and damping of the electronic excitations in the metal. Therefore it becomes necessary to treat both the atomic and the metallic effects within the same accuracy.
