Multipolar polarizabilities of the sodium atom by a variationally stable procedure

Abstract

We present a formalism that combines a semiempirical model potential with a second-order energy correction variationally stable method to evaluate the multipolar dynamic polarizabilities of the sodium atom. In this framework, the αL (ω) up to L=4 were calculated achieving good precision including the resonance domains of ω. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
