Calculations on nonlinear optical properties for large systems
The elongation method
Book
Chapter
This chapter contains a brief summary of various NLO processes as well as materials that show particularly large responses.
Chapter
There are many chemical systems of interest that are too large to be studied by means of conventional quantum chemistry computational methods
Chapter
In this chapter we discuss the quantum-mechanical treatment of extended systems exposed to electric fields. Special emphasis is put on systems that are regular and so large that they can be considered as being...
Chapter
In this chapter we present our methodologies for calculating L&NLO properties of large systems using the ELG approach. In addition to the issue of linear scaling, the accuracy of the calculated field-free, fin...
Chapter
In this chapter we first give a brief overview of theoretical methods for calculating the responses of smaller or larger, finite systems to electric fields. Subsequently, we concentrate on the quantum-mechanic...
Chapter
The elongation (ELG) method is a theoretical procedure for building up an arbitrary system by adding small fragments, one by one, to an original and growing cluster. In this chapter the basic features of this ...
