    "abstract": "We study spontaneous radiative decay of translational levels of an atom in\nthe vicinity of a semi-infinite dielectric. We systematically derive the\nmicroscopic dynamical equations for the spontaneous decay process. We calculate\nanalytically and numerically the radiative linewidths and the spontaneous\ntransition rates for the translational levels. The roles of the interference\nbetween the emitted and reflected fields and of the transmission into the\nevanescent modes are clearly identified. Our numerical calculations for the\nsilica--cesium interaction show that the radiative linewidths of the bound\nexcited levels with large enough but not too large vibrational quantum numbers\nare moderately enhanced by the emission into the evanescent modes and those for\nthe deep bound levels are substantially reduced by the surface-induced red\nshift of the transition frequency.",
