When the states P1 and P2 are described as linear combinations of CSFs as introduced earlier ( Fi = Zk CiKK), these matrix elements can be expressed in terms of CSF-based matrix elements < K I eri IOl >. The fact that the electric dipole operator is a one-electron operator, in combination with the SC rules, guarantees that only states for which the dominant determinants differ by at most a single spin-orbital (i.e., those which are "singly excited") can be connected via electric dipole transitions through first order (i.e., in a one-photon transition to which the < Fi Ii eri F2 > matrix elements pertain). It is for this reason that light with energy adequate to ionize or excite deep core electrons in atoms or molecules usually causes such ionization or excitation rather than double ionization or excitation of valence-level electrons the latter are two-electron events. 

Molecular point-group symmetry can often be used to determine whether a particular transition s dipole matrix element will vanish and, as a result, the electronic transition will be "forbidden" and thus predicted to have zero intensity. If the direct product of the symmetries of the initial and final electronic states /ei and /ef do not match the symmetry of the electric dipole operator (which has the symmetry of its x, y, and z components these symmetries can be read off the right most column of the character tables given in Appendix E), the matrix element will vanish. 

An electric dipole operator, of importance in electronic (visible and uv) and in vibrational spectroscopy (infrared) has the same symmetry properties as Ta. Magnetic dipoles, of importance in rotational (microwave), nmr (radio frequency) and epr (microwave) spectroscopies, have an operator with symmetry properties of Ra. Raman (visible) spectra relate to polarizability and the operator has the same symmetry properties as terms such as x2, xy, etc. In the study of optically active species, that cause helical movement of charge density, the important symmetry property of a helix to note, is that it corresponds to simultaneous translation and rotation. Optically active molecules must therefore have a symmetry such that Ta and Ra (a = x, y, z) transform as the same i.r. It only occurs for molecules with an alternating or improper rotation axis, Sn. 

The intensity of the observed line is determined by the dipole transition moment. Thus, in order to evaluate the intensities, knowledge of the electron and vibrational functions is required. Furthermore, it is important to take into account that the nuclear part of the dipole operator has the form. 

The electron-phonon operator is a tensor product between the electronic dipole and the nuclear dipole operators. A mixing between the AA and BB via the singlet-spin diradical AB state is possible now. A linear superposition of identical vibration states in AA and BB is performed by the excited state diradical AB. If the system started at cis state, after coupling may decohere by emission of a vibration photon in the trans state furthermore, relaxation to the trans... 

For a molecule in a given electronic and vibrational state, it is convenient to define the permanent dipole operator d = (i/r // i/r), where v/) is a product of the electronic and vibrational states. This vector operator depends on the angles that specify the orientation of the molecule with respect to the external field axis. For diatomic molecules, d is directed along the intermolecular axis. The Stark shifts of the molecule in a DC electric field can (almost always) be found by treating the molecule as a rigid rotor and diagonalizing the matrix of the operator... 

Electric dipole radiation is the most important component involved in normal excitation of atoms and molecules. Ttu electric dipole operator has the form TejXf where e is the electronic charge in esu and xt is the displacement vector for the jth electron in the oscillating electromagnetic field. 

Here, the pt are the permanent dipoles of molecules i = 1 and 2, and the ptj( r, i 2, Rij) are the dipoles induced by molecule i in molecule j the are the vectors pointing from the center of molecule i to the center of molecule j and the r, are the (intramolecular) vibrational coordinates. In general, these dipoles are given in the adiabatic approximation where electronic and nuclear wavefunctions appear as factors of the total wavefunction, 0(rf r) ( ). Dipole operators pop are defined as usual so that their expectation values shown above can be computed from the wavefunctions. For the induced dipole component, the dipole operator is defined with respect to the center of mass of the pair so that the induced dipole moments py do not depend on the center of mass coordinates. For bigger systems the total dipole moment may be expressed in the form of a simple generalization of Eq. 4.4. In general, the molecules will be assumed to be in a electronic ground state which is chemically inert. 

H is the Hamiltonian operator for the total energy, h = Planck s constant / 2tc, t is the time, and is the wave function describing the electronic state. The electric field of the light adds another contribution to the Hamiltonian. Assuming that all the molecules are isolated polarization units, the perturbation part of the Hamilitonian is the electric dipole operator, -p E. Thus,... 

Classical anharmonic spring models with or without damping [9], and the corresponding quantum oscillator models seem well removed from the molecular problems of interest here. The quantum systems are frequently described in terms of coulombic or muffin tin potentials that are intrinsically anharmonic. We will demonstrate their correspondence after first discussing the quantum approach to the nonlinear polarizability problem. Since we are calculating the polarization of electrons in molecules in the presence of an external electric field, we will determine the polarized molecular wave functions expanded in the basis set of unperturbed molecular orbitals and, from them, the nonlinear polarizability. At the heart of this strategy is the assumption that perturbation theory is appropriate for treating these small effects (see below). This is appropriate if the polarized states differ in minor ways from the unpolarized states. The electric dipole operator defines the interaction between the electric field and the molecule. Because the polarization operator (eq lc) is proportional to the dipole operator, there is a direct link between perturbation theory corrections (stark effects) and electronic polarizability [6,11,12]. 

The summations over Mf and ms are needed because no observation is made with respect to these final-state quantum numbers. ka and Kph are the wavenumber vectors of the Auger electron and the photoelectron, the minus sign indicates the correct asymptotic boundary condition for the wavefunctions, Vc is the Coulomb interaction between the electrons causing the Auger transition, and is the dipole operator causing the photoionization process.
