Calculation of static polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities for the atoms He through Kr with a numerical RHF method

Abstract

The static electric dipole polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities for different states of the ground configuration of the atoms He through Kr have been calculated at the restricted Hartree-Fock level using a finite perturbation method. The required field-dependent energy and dipole moment data have been computed with a recently developed numerical MCSCP code for atoms in a static electric field.
