Dynamic Multipole Polarizabilities of Two- and Four-Electron Atomic Systems

Journal Article · · Physical Review, A (General Physics)
Dynamic multipole polarizabilities of a number of simple atomic closed- shell systems in their ground states have been calculated within the coupled time- dependent Hartree-Fock scheme. The systems here investigated include He, Li+ , Be2+, B3+, C4+, Be, B+, and C2+. In order to acquire some feeling about the obtained results, the dipole polarizabilities have been evaluated either by using a scalar- or a vector-potential representation for the oscillating external field: these two choices give rise to the well-known polarizability expressions in terms of length'' and velocity'' oscillator strengths, respectively. Furthermore, a unitary transformation of the Hartree- Fock Hamiltonian is devised, which allows one to use a perturbation operator corresponding to that involved in the acceleration oscillator-strength expression. Estimates of transition energies to low-lying excited states have been also obtained from the frequency values at which the various polarizabilities display discontinuities.
