Abstract

Second-order induction energies arising in the interaction between two hydrogen atoms have been calculated both for two ground-state atoms and for a ground and an excited (2s) state atom. The method employed is a rapidly convergent variational procedure with explicitly two-centre basis functions. The induction energies are very small at large internuclear separations, but they are not completely negligible in the binding regions.
