The Van der Waals energy of molecules interacting with metallic bubbles is determined from spherical-tensor theory by using the response field susceptibility of the spherical bubble. The correlation and exchange effects of the electron response inside the metal are included by using the local density approximation (LDA). The dependence of the Van der Waals energy on the first Euler angle is manifestation of the anisotropy of the interaction. In order to illustrate the non-locality and the correlation and exchange effects as well as the importance of the spherical bubble curvature and anisotropy of the interaction on the potential magnitudes, we present numerical results for typical systems (HF,HCl) molecules on (Ag,Al) surfaces.The Van der Waals energy of molecules interacting with metallic bubbles is determined from spherical-tensor theory by using the response field susceptibility of the spherical bubble.
