It was noted in the early study by Pankove et al. (1985) that the hydrogen vibrational frequency appropriate to the H—B pair was in the range consistent with a hydrogen bonded to a silicon but was in fact somewhat smaller than that expected for an isolated hydrogen connected to a single silicon. Generally, if an atom becomes more confined, the frequency is expected to increase. It was suggested that the frequency reduction was due to a three-body effect well known in molecules. 

Only the effects of the three-body interaction term Vabc are truly cooperative effects in a trimer, although properties may of course also change with cluster size in a strictly pairwise additive model, where Vabc = 0- The formalism may easily be extended to larger clusters and indeed three body effects tend to be more important in larger clusters than in trimers [68]. 

The SMO-LMBPT method conveniently uses the transferability of the intracorrelated (one-body) parts of the monomers. This holds, according to our previous results [3-10], at the second (MP2), third (MP3) and fourth (MP4) level of correlation, respectively. The two-body terms (both dispersion and charge-transfer components) have also been already discussed for several systems [3-5]. A transferable property of the two-body interaction energy is valid in the studied He- and Ne-clusters, too [6]. In this work we focus also on the three-body effects which can be calculated in a rather straightforward way using the SMO-LMBPT formalism. 

In order to have an insight into the three-body effect,we continue the study of the He-clusters. Fortunately, there are published examples for several He-clusters, as cited above. All of these studies, however, were performed in the canonical representation. The use of the localized representation allows us to separate the dispersion and the charge transfer components of the interaction energy for the three-body effects as it was similarly done for the two-body effects. The calculation of the interaction energy in the SMO-LMBPT fiumework has been discussed in detail in several papers [8-10] The formulae given at the correlated level, however, were restricted to the two-body interaction. 

H2-H2-H2 rotovibrational band. Probably the most substantial measurements of the density dependence of collision-induced absorption spectra in the fundamental band near the onset of three-body effects, at densities from 15 to 400 amagat, are due to Hunt [187]. He shows a plot of y /g2 as function of the hydrogen density at six temperatures, from 40 to 300 K (Fig. 3.45). Especially at the low temperatures, these dependences are well represented by straight lines of well defined slopes, which in turn define the three-body moments. Inferred slopes are reported for both yo and y in that work. 

Theory suggests that ternary moments vary substantially with temperature even sign changes occur with modest temperature variations. This fact offers intriguing possibilities for an experimental separation of the pairwise-additive and the irreducible three-body effects and, perhaps, for a critical search for irreducible ternary contributions. 

The Pauli repulsion cannot be obtained as a sum of pairwise interactions, but there is a strong three-body effect in the S4 and higher terms.49... 

In Fig. 4.8 the effect of the initial-state wave functions is explored, for the case where the crucial electron-electron interaction is the two-body Coulomb interaction (4.14a) and for the case where this interaction is the two-body contact interaction (4.14d), which is not restricted to the position of the ion. In both cases, the form factor includes the function (4.23), which favors momenta such that pi + p2 is large. This is clearly visible for the contact interaction (4.14d) and less so for the Coulomb interaction (4.14a) whose form factor also includes the factor (4.19), which favors pi = 0 (or p2 = 0)- We conclude that (i) the effect of the specific bound state of the second electron is marginal and (ii) that a pure two-body interaction, be it of Coulomb type as in (4.14a) or contact type as in (4.14d), yields a rather poor description of the data. A three-body effective interaction, which only acts if the second electron is positioned at the ion, provides superior results, notably the three-body contact interaction (4.14b), cf. the left-hand panel (d). This points to the significance of the interaction of the electrons with the ion, which so far has not been incorporated into the S-matrix theory beyond the very approximate description via effective three-body interactions such as (4.14b) or (4.14c). 

Fig. 4.8. Electron momentum-correlation distributions (4.20) and their dependence on the initial bound state. The left-hand panels (a)-(c) are for the interaction (4.14d) and the right-hand panels (a)-(c) for the interaction (4.14a), for initial Is, 2p, and 3p states for both electrons. Panels (d) are for the three-body effective interactions (4.14b) (left) and (4.14c) (right) with the first electron in a Is state. In all situations (even for the 3p - state case), the atomic species was taken to be neon ( Eoi = 0.79 a.u. and E02 = 1.51 a.u.), in order to facilitate a clear assessment of the effects caused by the different initial states.

In the earlier sections of this chapter we reviewed the many-electron formulation of the symmetry-adapted perturbation theory of two-body interactions. As we saw, all physically important contributions to the potential could be identified and computed separately. We follow the same program for the three-body forces and discuss a triple perturbation theory for interactions in trimers. We show how the pure three-body effects can be separated out and give working equations for the components in terms of molecular integrals and linear and quadratic response functions. These formulas have a clear, partly classical, partly quantum mechanical interpretation. The exchange terms are also classified for the explicit orbital formulas we refer to Ref. (302).

A comparison of higher order effects also proves instructive A HF has a significant contribution from the induction-dispersion coupling, whereas A HCl, from the exchange-dispersion effect. In conclusion, the three-body effect in these systems represents a somewhat different blend, with the induction-type components being much more important for Ar2HF. 

In this cluster the three-body effect was detected via the observation of the asymmetric stretching frequency of CO2 by Sperhac et al. [82]. Recent ab initio calculations confirmed the experimental predictions [83], The exciting aspect of this cluster is that the nonadditive effect on the stretching frequency may be obtained directly with a very good accuracy. The reason is the well defined structure of the A CC cluster, shown in Fig.l 1... 

The importance of three-body effects in the determination of macroscopic properties has also been studied. Recently, nonadditive molecular dynamics simulation of water and organic liquids has been performed [86]. 

At the lower temperatures at which the recombination has been studied, CHs radical re( ombination in the presence of acetone shows three-body effects at pressures of about 10 mm Hg (150 ). It is to be expected that the half-life of the C2H6 complex will be shorter at higher temperatures (Sec. XI) and that correspondingly the pressure region of such effec ts will be higher at the higher temperatures. 

On increasing the pressure for NHj the three-body effect was eventually found to saturate and ultimately, at the highest pressures, a decrease in the recombination rate with increasing pressure was found. This overall pressure dependence was explained by the change from free-flight to diffusional recombination at high gas densities. 

Realistic three-dimensional computer models for water were proposed already more than 30 years ago (16). However, even relatively simple effective water model potentials based on point charges and Leimard-Jones interactions are still very expensive computationally. Significant progress with respect to the models ability to describe water s thermodynamic, structural, and dynamic features accurately has been achieved recently (101-103). However, early studies have shown that water models essentially capture the effects of hydrophobic hydration and interaction on a near quantitative level (81, 82, 104). Recent simulations suggest that the exact size of the solvation entropy of hydrophobic particles is related to the ability of the water models to account for water s thermodynamic anomalous behavior (105-108). Because the hydrophobic interaction is inherently a multibody interaction (105), it has been suggested to compute pair- and higher-order contributions from realistic computer simulations. However, currently it is inconclusive whether three-body effects are cooperative or anticooperative (109).
