van der Waals (vdW) interactions play a crucial role in ultracold atom-molecule collisions, as they dominate the long-range part of the interparticle potential and govern essential scattering properties at millikelvin and submillikelvin. In this work, we systematically investigate the vdW coefficient
C6 between alkali-metal atoms and alkali-metal polar diatomic molecules in the
1Σ
+ electronic state. Based on secondorder perturbation theory, we derive analytical expressions for the
C6 coefficient for the following cases: an atom in the
s,
p or
d state interacting with a molecule in the rotational ground state (
j = 0), and an atom in the
s state interacting with a molecule in a rotationally excited state (
j > 0). The formulas explicitly include the dependence on the vibrational quantum number
ν and rotational quantum number
j, enabling a quantitative description of the internal-state dependence of the long-range interaction. Taking the K-NaK system as an example, we calculate the
C6 coefficients using the derived formulas and analyze their variation with vibrational and rotational quantum numbers. Our results reveal that the vibrational excitation significantly enhances the
C6 coefficient, while the rotational excitation shows a relatively weaker but non-negligible effect. Furthermore, to determine the applicable range of the vdW potential, we compare the potential energy curves obtained from perturbation theory with those from a full diagonalization of the dipole-dipole interaction matrix. This comparison allows us to establish the minimum internuclear separation above which the second-order perturbative treatment remains accurate. Our comparison reveals that the vdW potential provides a quantitative description of the long-range interaction for
R > 35
a0 in the K(4
s)-NaK(
X1Σ
+,
ν = 0) case. However, for the K(4
p)-NaK(
X1Σ
+,
ν = 0) system, the perturbative treatment requires a larger separation (
R > 80
a0) to achieve the same level of accuracy, indicating a significantly extended range of the non-perturbative dipole-dipole coupling. Our findings provide systematic theoretical tools for modeling long-range interactions in alkali atom-molecule systems and provide quantitative reference data for future experiments on ultracold atom-molecule mixtures and quantum gas experiments.
