Dipolar and quadrupolar contributions to self-energy of a hydrogenic atom placed between two metallic slabs

The van der Waals interaction energy of a hydrogenic atom placed between two metal plates is calculated. The dipolar and quadrupolar contributions to the self-energy of the atom are obtained and their relative importance to the interaction energy is estimated.
