Measured atomic ground-state polarizabilities of 35 metallic elements

Ground-state structures of atomic metallic hydrogen.

Ab initio random structure searching using density functional theory is used to determine the ground-state structures of atomic metallic hydrogen from 500 GPa to 5 TPa. Including proton zero-point motion within the harmonic approximation, we estimate that molecular hydrogen dissociates into a monatomic body-centered tetragonal structure near 500 GPa (r(s)=1.23) that remains stable to 1 TPa (r(s...

Evaluating excited state atomic polarizabilities of chromophores.

Ground and excited state dipoles and polarizabilities of the chromophores N-methyl-6-oxyquinolinium betaine (MQ) and coumarin 153 (C153) in solution have been evaluated using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). A method for determining the atomic polarizabilities has been developed; the molecular dipole has been decomposed into atomic charge transfer and polarizability terms, and...

Atomic Polarizabilities

The atomic dipole polarizability governs the first-order response of an atom to an applied electric field. Atomic polarization phenomena impinge upon a number of areas and processes in physics and have been the subject of considerable interest and heightened importance in recent years. In this paper, we will summarize some of the recent applications of atomic polarizability studies. A summary o...

First-principles calculation of local atomic polarizabilities.

Common methods of determining atomic polarizabilities suffer from the inclusion of nonlocal effects such as charge polarization. A new method is described for determining fully ab initio atomic polarizabilities based on calculating the response of atomic multipoles to the local electrostatic potential. The localized atomic polarizabilities are then used to calculate induction energies that are ...
