• the London or Dispersion Force acts between ALL
atoms/molecules even if they have zero permanent dipole moments
• fundamentally quantum mechanical in nature, arising from a
“fluctuating dipole-induced dipole” interaction
• requires a time-correlation between fluctuating dipoles
• develop simple model for a fluctuating dipole system:

Assume for the moment a small fluctuation in molecule 1 will induce a
fluctuation in molecule 2. Model the fluctuation as a particle trapped
in a parabolic well. The confining potential can be described as
U=

k z1 mωo2 z12

and U=
2 ( z)

=
k z2 mωo2 z22 .

Because the two oscillators are uncoupled, Schrödinger’s equation
reduces to two separate equations

8. Dispersion Forces - comments
 The ability of fluctuating molecular dipoles to attract one
another depends strongly on the frequency of the fluctuations in
electron density - two transiently induced dipoles will attract
each other only if their frequencies nearly match (are equal or
multiples of one another). Quantities that vary with frequency
are said to exhibit dispersion – hence the name Dispersion
Force, Dispersion Energy = vdW Force, vdW Energy.
 Extensions to frequency dependent polarizations by McLachlan
(1963)
 As z increase (>100nm), the time for fluctuating dipole electric
fields to reach a second atom/molecule must be taken into
account. This is known as the Cashimer interaction and a proper
accounting of the retardation effects gives a power law
dependence that varies as z-7 .
 Casimir-Polder force is a generalization to include finite
conductivity

Summary - van der Waals Forces
The van der Waals force is the sum of three different components
of the electrostatic interaction between molecules: orientation,
induction, and dispersion. Each electrostatic interaction produces a
potential energy that varies as 1/z6, where z is the separation
– Orientation or Keesom Force is the angle-averaged dipole-dipole
interaction between two polar molecules.
– Debye Force is the angle averaged dipole-induced dipole
interaction between a polar and non-polar molecule
– The London or Dispersion force acts between all molecules with
non-zero polarizability

Appendix A: Dispersion Forces - a simple model
Consider the diagram below which shows two small masses vibrating in a parabolic well that is
modeled by an effective spring with spring constant k. The two fixed (non-vibrating) atoms are
separated by a distance z as shown.

As indicated, the instantaneous displacement of the moveable mass m from equilibrium is
specified by z1 and z2, respectively. Assume for the moment that the masses have zero
charge. Schrödinger’s equation for the two uncoupled oscillators requires a specification of
the interaction potential energy U for each oscillator. For a parabolic well, U is specified as
U=
1 ( z)
1 2
=
kz1 mωo2 z12
2
and U =
2 ( z)
1 2
=
kz2 mωo2 z22 .
2
Because U is uncoupled, Schrödinger’s equation reduces to two separate
equations with solutions that are given in many quantum textbooks:

The known solutions of these two equations tells us that the quantum mechanical
eigenvalues E1 and E2 for the oscillator are quantized, with the lowest energy
solution (the ground state energy) given by
Etot = E1 + E2 =
where


is Planck’s constant divided by 2π and
ωo =

.
If each spring system acquires a charge ±q as shown in the diagram above, then
each spring will acquire an instantaneous, fluctuating dipole moment p1=qz1 and
p2=qz2. What is the resulting electrostatic potential energy Uelectr that results
when these two dipoles interact? The answer can be written down by inspection:

When this expression is used in Schrödinger’s equation, the solutions are not so simple
because the electrostatic potential energy term now contains both z1 and z2. Not
surprisingly, the vibrational frequencies for each spring will be altered because of this
electrostatic interaction. The question is by how much will they change?
The cross-term in the expression for Utot prevents a simple answer to this question.
However, if we could somehow rewrite the expression for Utot to have a separable form,
something like
U tot=
1
1
2
2
ks ( z1 + z2 ) + ka ( z1 − z2 )
2
2
then we could define new coordinate variables zs=(z1+z2)/√2 and za=(z1-z2) /√2, with
ks and ka defined as some “equivalent” spring constants. Schrödinger’s equation could
then be rewritten in the same form as the uncoupled case above:

What is the change in the quantum ground state energy, ΔU, from the uncoupled
case and how does it vary with z? Define ΔU by
=
∆U
1
1
( ω a + ω s ) − 2 × ω o
2
2
If ΔU is a positive number, the coupled system will have a higher potential energy
and the two charged springs will experience a repulsive force. If ΔU is a negative
number, the coupled system will have a lower potential energy and the two charged
springs will experience an attractive force.
The details of the calculation for ΔU are provided on the next page. The result is
  1 q 2 2  1

∆U ( z ) =

Since ΔU is a negative number, the coupled system will have a lower potential
energy and the two springs will experience an attractive potential that varies
as z-6.

Note that the final answer contains q and k, parameters that are easy to define
but difficult to know. These two parameters can be eliminated by realizing that an
electric field causes the charge separation by exerting a force which must be
balanced by the “effective” spring that tethers the separated charges together.
The spring will “stretch” until the restoring force of the spring matches the
electrostatic force produced by the electric field.

The parameter ωo represents a characteristic “motional” frequency of the
charge in a polarized atom/molecule and is often replaced by the ionization
energy I, which is a well known and easy-to-measure quantity. This gives rise to
the result often quoted in the literature
1 α2 I 1
∆U ( z ) =
−
2 ( 4πε o )2 z 6
The equivalent result in 3-dimensions is
3 α2 I 1
∆U ( z ) =
−
4 ( 4πε o )2 z 6
