Abstract
Bleick and Mayer developed a method for treating the repulsive interaction of two closed shells, and determined the interaction of two neon atoms. In the present paper the same method was applied to calculate the repulsive potential in the case of two argon atoms, the one-electron atomic wave functions that were obtained numerically by Hartree being used. The value of the repulsive potential at R = 3.70 ×10-8 cm is 6.20 ×10-14 ergs; at R = 2.64 × 10-8 cm is 328 ×10-14 ergs; and at R = 2.12 × 10-8 cm is 2090 ×10-14 ergs. These three values are fitted by the simple function b exp (-R/ρ) with small error as expected.Keywords
