Abstract
The dispersion dipole moment on three well-separated atoms is formulated with perturbation theory and evaluated for the Drude model. Then the dispersion force contribution to the adsorption dipole, composed of moments on the adatom and on the substrate, is calculated as a sum of two atom and three atom collision dipoles. The relation to electrostatic results for driven polarization is shown ; comparison is made with image theory analyses of the adsorption dipole.
