Abstract

Abstract A detailed discussion is given of the methods of calculating atomic polarizabilities and shielding factors and the relationships between them are demonstrated. The formulation of the uncoupled Hartree-Fock approximation is presented and it is shown that the methods are all approximate versions of it. A more accurate procedure, the coupled Hartree-Fock approximation, is described. Comprehensive tables of dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities and of quadrupole shielding factors are included together with an assessment of the probable accuracy.
