Asymptotic limits of the retarded interaction energy between two hyperpolarizable molecules
- Department of Chemistry, University College London, 20 Gordon Street, London WC1HOAJ (United Kingdom)
The asymptotic limits of the leading term of the energy shift between a pair of molecules due to exchange of three virtual photons are calculated using nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics. In the electric dipole approximation, this discriminatory interaction depending on the handedness of each species, corresponds to the near- and far-zone energy shifts between two hyperpolarizable molecules. The far-zone result, exhibiting an R{sup {minus}11} dependence on intermolecular separation is compared with far-zone limits of higher multipole polarizable interaction energies arising from a two-photon exchange. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
