Six-body van der Waals interactions

Abstract

We report on the six-body van der Waals interactions within Rydberg atoms. Specifically, we focus on the octahedron case. The results are compared with previous calculations for two to five bodies' interactions. This research is useful for crystal structure in condensed matter physics, such as p-type doping in Silicon or other types of semiconductors. This research is also useful for studying big molecules in chemistry, chemical engineering, and other fields.
