POLARIZABILITY CHANGE IN LIQUIDS DUE TO MANY-BODY INTERACTIONS

Approximate quantum-mechanical expressions for the change in polarizability due to many-body interactions in spherically symmetric liquids, or dense gases, were derived by a variational form of perturbation theory. The expressions are evaluated using Linder's continuum model for the liquid and Slater-type wavefunctions. It is shown that the change in polarizability is approximately arizability and g is a parameter which depends on the dielectric constant and molar volume of the liquid. The predicted increase in polarizability varied from 0.042% for He to 3.54% for Xe. (auth)
