Abstract

An atom (B) situated near a plane of atoms (A) experiences an interaction potential energy V = ( V 2 + V 3 + … The leading term is the sum over the monlayer of 2-body interactions. We compute here the 3-body correction V 3. Numerical results are presented for the case of noble gases, H and CH 4. For H or He near a Xe layer, V 3 reduces the well depth by ~ 10%.
