Dalgarno %J Physics %D 2001 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevA.63.052704 %X Van der Waals coefficients for the heteronuclear alkali-metal dimers of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr are calculated using relativistic ab initio methods augmented by high-precision experimental data. We argue that the uncertainties in the coefficients are unlikely to exceed about 1%. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0102030v1
