Limit of the Image Theory for the Classical Decay Rates of Molecules at Surfaces.

Abstract

The limit of the classifical image theory as applied to the problem of decay rates for molecules at metallic surfaces is critically examined. The validity of the inverse cube law is clarified with reference to recent experimental results. Keywords: Molecules at surfaces, Classical image theory decay rates, Metallic surfaces, Inverse cube law, Reference to Experiments.
