Multipoles, higher-order

The multipole moment of rank n is sometimes called the 2"-pole moment. The first non-zero multipole moment of a molecule is origin independent but the higher-order ones depend on the choice of origin. Quadnipole moments are difficult to measure and experimental data are scarce [17, 18 and 19]. The octopole and hexadecapole moments have been measured only for a few highly syimnetric molecules whose lower multipole moments vanish. Ab initio calculations are probably the most reliable way to obtain quadnipole and higher multipole moments [20, 21 and 22]. 

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] ... 

These expressions are only correct for wave functions that obey the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. Flowever, these expressions have been used for other methods, where they serve as a reasonable approximation. Methods that rigorously obey the Flellmann-Feynman theorem are SCF, MCSCF, and Full CF The change in energy from nonlinear effects is due to a change in the electron density, which creates an induced dipole moment and, to a lesser extent, induced higher-order multipoles. 

The algorithm outlined above is a level 1 cell multipole or Cartesian multipole algorithm [28]. A number of modifications are possible. Accuracy can be raised by using higher order expansions, which unfortunately are more expensive. The cost can be alleviated by... 

It is of special interest for many applications to consider adsorption of fiuids in matrices in the framework of models which include electrostatic forces. These systems are relevant, for example, to colloidal chemistry. On the other hand, electrodes made of specially treated carbon particles and impregnated by electrolyte solutions are very promising devices for practical applications. Only a few attempts have been undertaken to solve models with electrostatic forces, those have been restricted, moreover, to ionic fiuids with Coulomb interactions. We would hke to mention in advance that it is clear, at present, how to obtain the structural properties of ionic fiuids adsorbed in disordered charged matrices. Other systems with higher-order multipole interactions have not been studied so far. Thermodynamics of these systems, and, in particular, peculiarities of phase transitions, is the issue which is practically unsolved, in spite of its great importance. This part of our chapter is based on recent works from our laboratory [37,38]. 

The additional integrals are just expectation values of x,y and z, and their inclusion requires very little additional computational effort. Generalization to higher-order multipoles is straightforward. 

The key element in London s approach is the expansion of the electrical potential energy in multipole series. Since neutral molecules or portions of molecules are involved, the leading term is that for dipole-dipole interaction. While attention has been given to higher-order terms, these are usually small, and the greater need seems to be for improved treatment of the dipole-dipole terms. London used second order perturbation theory in his treatment, but Slater and Kirkwood38,21 soon followed with a variation method treatment which yielded similar results. Other individual papers will be mentioned later, but the excellent review of Mar-genau26 should not be overlooked. 

More realistic treatment of the electrostatic interactions of the solvent can be made. The dipolar hard-sphere model is a simple representation of the polar nature of the solvent and has been adopted in studies of bulk electrolyte and electrolyte interfaces [35-39], Recently, it was found that this model gives rise to phase behavior that does not exist in experiments [40,41] and that the Stockmeyer potential [41,42] with soft cores should be better to avoid artifacts. Representation of higher-order multipoles are given in several popular models of water, namely, the simple point charge (SPC) model [43] and its extension (SPC/E) [44], the transferable interaction potential (T1PS)[45], and other central force models [46-48], Models have also been proposed to treat the polarizability of water [49],... 

Erom the qualitative analysis in this section, we tentatively conclude that there are several contributions of comparable magnitude to the thermal expansion at low temperatures. Higher order effects may also be present. In this case, it may be more straightforward to estimate the interaction between ripplons as extended membranes without using a multipole expansion, as indeed is done when computing the regular Casimir force between extended plates. 

A related methodology that makes use of the calculated surface charges at the cavity surface to estimate the interaction with the solvent has been described in Ref. [54] in addition, the reaction field model can be extended to include the effects of higher order multipoles [55], In the present implementation, only dipole effects are considered. 

The multipole model reduces the crystal electron density to a number of parameters, which can be fitted to experimental structure factors. For CU2O, structure factors for the (531) and higher-order reflections out to (14,4,2) were taken from X-ray measurements. Weak (ooe) (with o for odd and e for even) and very weak (eeo) reflections were also taken from X-ray work. Fig. 6 shows a three-dimensional plot of the difference between the static crystal charge density obtained from the multipole fitting to... 

Stewart s conclusion underscores the need for short-wavelength, low-temperature studies, if very high accuracy electrostatic properties are to be evaluated by Fourier summation. But, as pointed out by Hansen (1993), the convergence can be improved if the spherical atoms subtracted out are modified by the k values obtained with the multipole model. Failure to do this causes pronounced oscillations in the deformation density near the nuclei. For the binuclear manganese complex ( -dioxo)Mn(III)Mn(IV)(2,2 -bipyridyl)4, convergence of the electrostatic potential at the Mn nucleus is reached at 0.7 A" as checked by the inclusion of higher-order data (Frost-Jensen et al. 1995). 

The above-mentioned nonlinear optical effects can be described by the perturbation of the electromagnetic held intensity under the electric dipole approximation. Actually, this approximation is broken in optical near-helds. Hence, a perturbation effect of multipole such as electric quadrupole or magnetic dipole should also be considered, although such a higher-order effect is normally negligible. Indeed, electric quadrupole contributions can be comparable with electric dipole contributions... 

For quadrupole radiation, they estimate P 2x 10-9, whereas for magnetic-dipole radiation their result was P 2 x 10-8. The experimental values lie in the range of 10 7 to 10 5. From these estimates, one concludes that the probability of significant electric-quadrupole and higher-order-multipole radiation is very small indeed. The magnetic-dipole radiation is weak but probably is of some importance, particularly in cases where the electric-dipole emission is strictly prohibited. 

On a scale of the order of atomic size, molecular multipole fields vary strongly with orientation and separation. As a consequence, one will generally find induced dipole components arising from field gradients of first and higher order which interact with the so-called dipole-multipole polarizability tensor components, such as the A and E tensors. 

It is interesting to note that in high-resolution studies of the spectra of solid hydrogen transitions were seen with a change of the rotational quantum numbers A J of 6 and 8 [102]. The suggestion was made that these could be caused by H2 multipole moments of higher order than the hexadecapole (or 24) moment, e.g., by the H2 26 and 28 multipole moments. Such transitions are weak and have hitherto not been included in any treatments of collision-induced absorption in gases. 

Birefringences are mostly observed in condensed phases, especially pure liquids or solutions, since the strong enhancement of the effects allows for reduced dimensions (much shorter optical paths) of the experimental apparatus. Nowadays measurements of linear birefringences can be carried out on liquid samples with desktop-size instruments. Such measurements may yield information on the molecular properties, molecular multipoles and their polarizabilities. In some instances, for example KE, CME and BE, measurements (in particular of their temperature dependence) have been carried out simultaneously on some systems. From the combination of data, information on electric dipole polarizabilities, dipole and quadrupole moments, magnetizabilities and higher order properties were then obtained.
