Hyperpolarizabilities can be calculated in a number of different ways. The quantum chemical calculations may be based on a perturbation approach that directly evaluates sum-over-states (SOS) expressions such as Eq. (14), or on differentiation of the energy or induced moments for which (electric field) perturbed wavefunctions and/or electron densities are explicitly calculated. These techniques may be implemented at different levels of approximation ranging from semi-empirical to density functional methods that account for electron correlation through approximations to the exact exchange-correlation functionals to high-level ab initio calculations which systematically include electron correlation effects. 

In this work we have given on overview of the mathematical foundations of stationary density functional theory. We discussed in great detail the question of differentiability of the functionals and showed that the Kohn-Sham theory can be put on a solid basis for all practical purposes, since the set of noninteracting E-V-densities is dense in the set of interacting E-V-densities. The question whether these two sets are in fact identical is still an open question. We further discussed two systematic approaches for the construction of the exchange-correlation functional and potential. What can we say about future developments within density functional theory There have been many extensions of density functional theory involving... 

To determine the correlation-kinetic field and potential we assume the KS exchange-potential vx(r) to bejthat derived6,7 by restricted differentiation of the exchange energy functional Ex [p]. The resulting expression for the potential which is in terms of the density p(r) and Slater potential Vx (r) is... 

Dealuminated M-Y zeolites (Si/Al = 4.22 M NH4, Li, Na, K, Cs) were prepared using the dealumination method developed by Skeels and Breck and the conventional ion exchange technique. These materials were characterised by infrared spectroscopy (IR) with and without pyridine adsorption, temperature-programmed desorption (t.p.d.) of ammonia. X-ray difiracto-metry (XRD) and differential thermoanalysis (DTA). They were used for encapsulation of Mo(CO)5. Subsequent decarbonylation and ammonia decomposition was monitored by mass spectrometry (MS) as a function of temperature. The oxidation numbers of entrapped molybdenum as well as the ability for ammonia decomposition were correlated to the overall acidity of the materials. It was found that the oxidation number decreased with the overall acidity (density and/or strength of Bronsted and Lewis acidity). Reduced acidity facilitated ammonia decomposition. 

The orbital form of the trial density ensures that it is n-representable and so we seek a minimum in W[p x) subject to this orthonormality constraint on the orbitals Xi(x). Since the functionals T, V and J are ejl avaiilable explicitly in terms of the orbitals, the variational problem becomes identical to the Hartree-Fock variational problem set up and solved in Chapter 2 except for the problematic exchange-correlation functional Exc which is not known explicitly as a functional of p x) or the orbitals Xt(x). Thus we must simply carry the variation in Exc induced by a variation in p(x) into the differential equation for the optimum orbitals...
