Ei=i N F(i), perturbation theory (see Appendix D for an introduetion to time-independent perturbation theory) is used to determine the Ci amplitudes for the CSFs. The MPPT proeedure is also referred to as the many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) method. The two names arose beeause two different sehools of physies and ehemistry developed them for somewhat different applieations. Later, workers realized that they were identieal in their working equations when the UHF H is employed as the unperturbed Hamiltonian. In this text, we will therefore refer to this approaeh as MPPT/MBPT. 

Two states /a and /b that are eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian Hq in the absence of some external perturbation (e.g., electromagnetic field or static electric field or potential due to surrounding ligands) can be "coupled" by the perturbation V only if the symmetries of V and of the two wavefunctions obey a so-called selection rule. In particular, only if the coupling integral (see Appendix D which deals with time independent perturbation theory)...

The wavefunctions in Eq. (2.34) are different from the wavefunctions of the free tip and free sample. The effect of the distortion potential (V = Us — Uso and V = Us - Uso), can be evaluated through time-independent perturbation. In the following, we present an approximate method based on the Green s function of the vacuum (see Appendix B). To first order, the distorted wavefunction i)i is related to the undistorted one, i]jo, by... 

These results have been obtained with a time-independent perturbation method, described in Landau and Lifshitz (1977). They are actually the leading terms of the exact asymptotic expansion of the potential curves (Damburg and Propin, 1968 Cizek et al., 1986). Up to the third term, the exact result of the coupling energies for the Ictj and lo- states is... 

Just as with time-independent perturbation theory, we can go to higher-order approximations if necessary. See Fong, pp. 234-244. 

Most numerical methods for calculating molecular hyperpolarizability use sum over states expressions in either a time-dependent (explicitly including field dependent dispersion terms) or time-independent perturbation theory framework [13,14]. Sum over states methods require an ability to determine the excited states of the system reliably. This can become computationally demanding, especially for high order hyperpolarizabilities [15]. An alternative strategy adds a finite electric field term to the hamiltonian and computes the hyperpolarizability from the derivatives of the field dependent molecular dipole moment. Finite-field calculations use the ground state wave function only and include the influence of the field in a self-consistent manner [16]. 

Perturbative estimate of ESVs with respect to noncorrelated bare Hamiltonian. The specificity of each bond and molecule in the approach based on the SLG expressions for the wave function is taken into account perturbatively by using the linear response approximation [25]. We need perturbative estimates of the expectation values of the pseudospin operators which, in their turn, give values of the density matrix elements according to eq. (3.5). According to the general theory (Section 1.3.3.2) the linear response 5(A) of an expectation value of the operator A to the time independent perturbation AB of the Hamiltonian (A is the parameter characterizing the intensity of the perturbation) has the form ...

Taking these introductory comments as a motivation, we shall turn to the formalism of response theory. Response theory is first of all a way of formulating time-dependent perturbation theory. In fact, time-dependent and time-independent perturbation theory are treated on equal footing, the latter being a special case of the former. As the name implies, response functions describe how a property of a system responds to an external perturbation. If initially, we have a system in the state 0) (the reference state), as a weak perturbation V(t) is turned on, the average value of an operator A will develop in time according to... 

The expressions derived for the molecular properties in the previous section are of a rather general and perhaps somewhat abstract character. For a given variational wave function, the explicit expressions for the molecular properties are obtained by substituting in Eqs. 18 to 21 the detailed form of the energy functional (x A) for a nonvariational wave function, we first express the energy as a variational Lagrangian and then proceed in the same manner. We shall not discuss the detailed expressions for the derivatives here, referring instead to special reviews [1]. Still, to illustrate the physical contents of Eq. 18 and Eq. 21, we shall now see how these expressions are related to those of standard time-independent perturbation theory. 

The use of van Vleck s contact transformation method for the study of time-dependent interactions in solid-state NMR by Floquet theory has been proposed. Floquet theory has been used for studying the spin dynamics of MAS NMR experiments. The contact transformation method is an operator method in time-independent perturbation theory and has been used to obtain effective Hamiltonians in molecular spectroscopy. This has been combined with Floquet theory to study the dynamics of a dipolar coupled spin (I = 1/2) system. 

Moreover, if we recall Eq. (3), which we used as a starting point for defining linear and nonlinear optical properties, then it is seen that for time-independent perturbations, we may equally well choose an expansion of the molecular energy for tills purpose... 

We saw in Section III that the polarization propagator is the linear response function. The linear response of a system to an external time-independent perturbation can also be obtained from the coupled Hartree-Fock (CHF) approximation provided the unperturbed state is the Hartree-Fock state of the system. Thus, RPA and CHF are the same approximation for time-independent perturbing fields, that is for properties such as spin-spin coupling constants and static polarizabilities. That we indeed obtain exactly the same set of equations in the two methods is demonstrated by Jorgensen and Simons (1981, Chapter 5.B). Frequency-dependent response properties in the... 

One of the most useful techniques in physics and chemistry is Time Independent Perturbation Theory (TP). Therefore, not surprisingly, it has been applied to the study of the CHA problem. 

There have been developed two essentially different wave-mechanical perturbation theories. The first of these, due to Schrodinger, provides an approximate method of calculating energy values and wave functions for the stationary states of a system under the influence of a constant (time-independent) perturbation. We have discussed this theory in Chapter VI. The second perturbation theory, which we shall-treat in the following paragraphs, deals with the time behavior of a system under the influence of a perturbation it permits us to discuss such questions as the probability of transition of the system from one unperturbed stationary state to another as the result of the perturbation. (In Section 40 we shall apply the theory to the problem of the emission and absorption of radiation.) The theory was developed by Dirac.1 It is often called the theory of the variation of constants the reason for this name will be evident from the following discussion. 

The exfernal magnetic field Mq can be treated as a small perturbation by time-independent perturbation theory.

Use of the approximate result (9.121) for the expansion coefficients in (9.118) gives the desired approximation to the state function at time t for the case that the time-dependent perturbation H is applied at r = 0 to a system in stationary state n. [As with time-independent perturbation theory, one can go to higher-order approximations (see Fong, pp. 234-244).]... 

The form of Jf, given by Eq. (3), is not very helpful with regard to understanding the relationship of Jf to H. There are many different ways in which to formulate this problem, in terms of time-independent perturbation theory [8,9,13-15], time-dependent perturbation theory [8,9,16,17], the coupled-cluster or e method [18], moment methods [19], and variational approaches [20]. Because of time and space restrictions, we will discuss in detail only the time-independent perturbation-theory approach. Those interested in other techniques should peruse the appropriate references.
