17 HYPERPOL: HYPERPOLARIZABILITIES OF HE AND H2

Sample directory: adf/e_Hyperpol/

This sample illustrates the computation of (hyper) polarizability tensors for the He atom and the H2 molecule.

The symmetry is specified, because the Response module in ADF cannot yet handle the infinite symmetries ATOM, C(lin), D(lin).

The RESPONSE data block specifies (ALLCOMPONENTS) that not only the (default) zz-dipole polarizability is to be computed, but the complete tensor. The subkey HYPERPOL instructs the program to compute hyperpolarizabilities and not only polarizabilities. The DYNAHYP subkey implies that the frequency-dependent (hyper)polarizability is calculated. In that case the main laser frequency has to be specified, in hartree units, after the HYPERPOL subkey.

Only the first hyperpolarizability has been implemented in ADF. Some information on second hyperpolarizabilities can be obtained from the calculation of the first one in a finite field (EFIELD).

In similar fashion the frequency-dependent hyperpolarizability is computed for He, but only the zzz-component because now the ALLCOMPONENTS subkey is omitted.
