The retarded long-range potentials for hydrogen and alkali-metal atoms intheir ground states and a perfectly conducting wall are calculated. Thepotentials are given over a wide range of atom-wall distances and the validityof the approximations used is established.Comment: RevTeX, epsf, 11 pages, 2 fig
