Hyperpolarizabilities dipole

Figure 8. Contours of changes in v = 0 state energies of HF in applied fields and field gradients due to hyperpolarizabilities (dipole and quadrupole). Straight lines crossing in middle are zero contours. Each contour away is spaced at 0.1 cm". Dashed lines are negative changes.

There are higher multipole polarizabilities tiiat describe higher-order multipole moments induced by non-imifonn fields. For example, the quadnipole polarizability is a fourth-rank tensor C that characterizes the lowest-order quadnipole moment induced by an applied field gradient. There are also mixed polarizabilities such as the third-rank dipole-quadnipole polarizability tensor A that describes the lowest-order response of the dipole moment to a field gradient and of the quadnipole moment to a dipolar field. All polarizabilities of order higher tlian dipole depend on the choice of origin. Experimental values are basically restricted to the dipole polarizability and hyperpolarizability [21, 24 and 21]. Ab initio calculations are an imponant source of both dipole and higher polarizabilities [20] some recent examples include [26, 22] ... 

The perturbation V = H-H appropriate to the particular property is identified. For dipole moments ( i), polarizabilities (a), and hyperpolarizabilities (P), V is the interaction of the nuclei and electrons with the external electric field... 

The molecular quantities can be best understood as a Taylor series expansion. For example, the energy of the molecule E would be the sum of the energy without an electric field present, Eq, and corrections for the dipole, polarizability, hyperpolarizability, and the like ... 

The next terms in the series, denoted. .. in equation 17.1 above, are called the dipole hyperpolarizabilities. The first one is and this also is a tensor. It has three indices, and the corresponding formula for the induced dipole, equation 17.3, becomes... 

Just as the dipole changes in an external field, so do all the other moments, and we can develop a set of equations for the quadrupole polarizability (and hyperpolarizabilities), the octupole polarizability, and so on. These esoteric quantities are rarely met in chemistry. 

A reliable calculation of polarizabilities requires an adequate description of the outer part of the electron density. For this reason Kassimi and Lin [98JPC(A)9906] used augmented basis sets of triple- quality to study polarizabilities and dipole moments of thiazoles and thiadiazoles. They expect their results to be reliable within 5%. In addition, the authors provide MP2/6-31G geometries for most of their structures. Hyperpolarizabilities for substituted thiazoles obtained from calculations at lower levels are also provided [99MI2]. 

Thus coefficients with an even total order I + m + n are real and coefficients with an odd total order I m + n are pure imaginary. In the following we consider only dipole hyperpolarizabilities. In this case the four operators A, B, C and D are cartesian components of the dipole operator and the odd dispersion coefficients vanish. 

The CC2 model performes very different for static hyperpolarizabilities and for their dispersion. For methane, CC2 overestimates 70 by a similar amount as it is underestimated by CCS, thus giving no improvement in accuracy relative to the uncorrelated methods CCS and SCF. In contrast to this, the CC2 dispersion coefficients listed in Table 3 are by a factor of 3 - 8 closer to the CCSD values than the respective CCS results. The dispersion coefficients should be sensitive to the lowest dipole-allowed excitation energy, which determines the position of the first pole in the dispersion curve. The substantial improvements in accuracy for the dispersion coefficients are thus consistent with the good performance of CC2 for excitation energies [35,37,50]. 

The theoretical results provided by the large basis sets II-V are much smaller than those from previous references [15-18] the present findings confirm that the second-hyperpolarizability is largely affected by the basis set characteristics. It is very difficult to assess the accuracy of a given CHF calculation of 2(ap iS, and it may well happen that smaller basis sets provide theoretical values of apparently better quality. Whereas the diagonal eomponents of the eleetrie dipole polarizability are quadratic properties for which the Hartree-Fock limit can be estimated with relative accuracy a posteriori, e.g., via extended calculations [38], it does not seem possible to establish a variational principle for, and/or upper and lower bounds to, either and atris-... 

If neither cOyis nor cOsfg is in resonance with an electric dipole transition in the material and only electric dipole transitions are considered, the hyperpolarizability. 

The fundamental equation (1) describes the change in dipole moment between the ground state and an excited state jte expressed as a power series of the electric field E which occurs upon interaction of such a field, as in the electric component of electromagnetic radiation, with a single molecule. The coefficient a is the familiar linear polarizability, ft and y are the quadratic and cubic hyperpolarizabilities, respectively. The coefficients for these hyperpolarizabilities are tensor quantities and therefore highly symmetry dependent odd order coefficients are nonvanishing for all molecules but even order coefficients such as J3 (responsible for SHG) are zero for centrosymmetric molecules. Equation (2) is identical with (1) except that it describes a macroscopic polarization, such as that arising from an array of molecules in a crystal (10). 

Based on the fundamental dipole moment concepts of mesomeric moment and interaction moment, models to explain the enhanced optical nonlinearities of polarized conjugated molecules have been devised. The equivalent internal field (EIF) model of Oudar and Chemla relates the j8 of a molecule to an equivalent electric field ER due to substituent R which biases the hyperpolarizabilities (28). In the case of donor-acceptor systems anomalously large nonlinearities result as a consequence of contributions from intramolecular charge-transfer interaction (related to /xjnt) and expressions to quantify this contribution have been obtained (29). Related treatments dealing with this problem have appeared one due to Levine and Bethea bearing directly on the EIF model (30), another due to Levine using spectroscopically derived substituent perturbations rather than dipole moment based data (31.) and yet another more empirical treatment by Dulcic and Sauteret involving reinforcement of substituent effects (32). 

Experimental and theoretical results are presented for four nonlinear electrooptic and dielectric effects, as they pertain to flexible polymers. They are the Kerr effect, electric field induced light scattering, dielectric saturation and electric field induced second harmonic generation. We show the relationship between the dipole moment, polarizability, hyperpolarizability, the conformation of the polymer and these electrooptic and dielectric effects. We find that these effects are very sensitive to the details of polymer structure such as the rotational isomeric states, tacticity, and in the case of a copolymer, the comonomer composition. 

The nonlinear optical and dielectric properties of polymers find increasing use in devices, such as cladding and coatings for optical fibres, piezoelectric and optical fibre sensors, frequency doublers, and thin films for integrated optics applications. It is therefore important to understand the dielectric, optical and mechanical response of polymeric materials to optimize their usage. The parameters that are important to evaluate these properties of polymers are their dipole moment polarizability a, hyperpolarizabilities 0... 

We have shown in this paper the relationships between the fundamental electrical parameters, such as the dipole moment, polarizability and hyperpolarizability, and the conformations of flexible polymers which are manifested in a number of their electrooptic and dielectric properties. These include the Kerr effect, dielectric polarization and saturation, electric field induced light scattering and second harmonic generation. Our experimental and theoretical studies of the Kerr effect show that it is very useful for the characterization of polymer microstructure. Our theoretical studies of the NLDE, EFLS and EFSHG also show that these effects are potentially useful, but there are very few experimental results reported in the literature with which to test the calculations. More experimental studies are needed to further our understanding of the nonlinear electrooptic and dielectric properties of flexible polymers.
