ABSTRACTThird-order optical susceptibilities (γijkl) can be efficiently analyzed for a variety of molecular structures employing perturbation theory and a PPP-SCF-SECI-DECI π-electron model Hamiltonian. The key, frequency tripling second hyperpolarizability γijkl(−3ω;ω,ω,ω) is calculated with full single and double CI. It is found that double excitations play a major role in third-order processes, and that γijkl, like the polarizability αij, is sensitive largely to the overall size (volume) of the π system, although charge transfer excitations may also contribute. The frequency dependence of v and correlations between γijkl and conjugation length are found for a series of trans polyenes.

ABSTRACTFactors contributing to the polarizability (αij) and frequencydoubling hyperpolarizability (βijk) of 2-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-(pnitrophenyl) benzo(l,2-d:4,5-d′ )blsthiazole (DNBT) are analyzed via perturbation theory and the PPP-SCF-MECI π-electron model Hamiltonian. While the observable part of β (βvec) is clearly identifiable with a small number of charge transfer excitations along the molecular dipole direction, a (and by inference, the second-order hyperpolarizability γ) is more closely related to the overall size (volume) of the π-electron cloud. As a consequence, βvec is far more sensitive to molecular distortions which affect donor-acceptor charge transfer interactions than is π. The more sensitive frequency dependence of βvec can be understood in terms of the three-photon character of this nonlinearity.

Abstract In the past, the axion-nucleon coupling has been calculated in the framework of SU(2) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory up to third order in the chiral power counting. Here, we extend these earlier studies to the case of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory with SU(3) flavor symmetry and derive the axion coupling to the full SU(3) baryon octet, showing that the axion also significantly couples to hyperons. As studies on dense nuclear matter suggest the possible existence of hyperons in stellar objects such as neutron stars, our results should have phenomenological implications related to the so-called axion window.
