This is a database featuring numerical and experimental values for dispersion coefficients of alkali-metal dimers obtained over the years. It is meant to provide a convenient reference for anyone to access. The database is organized in three hierarchical levels. For each alkali-metal dimers there is a table containing values for dispersion coefficients for different asymptotes. For each asymptote and symmetry there is a list of references and alternative results for the dispersion coefficients. If you are aware about other published results for the dispersion coefficients of alkali-metal dimers which are not yet included in this database, please let us know.

Notation:

Molecular symmetries are denoted as 2S+1L w p ; where S is the total spin, L is the projection of the total orbital angular momentum on the internuclear axis, w and p are the parity and the sign of the state, respectively.

All numerical values are reported in a.u. (e=hbar=me=1).

The Cn coefficient has the dimension Energy x Lengthn.

Typically, the numerical values are reported in the form nn(mm)[ee] which should be read as nn plus or minus mm times ten to the power ee. Both (mm) and [ee] are optional.
