abstract

  • By examining the exact operator O+ which is the solution of the equations of motion-Green's function method, we rederive expressions for non-reference (usually excited) state properties. Hence, additional useful information such as state expectation values, oscillator strengths, and frequency dependent and independent polarizabilities may be easily obtained from an equation of motion-Green's function calculation. With the multiconfigurational random phase approximation (MCRPA), which is equivalent to the multiconfigurational time dependent Hartree-Fock (MCTDHF), excitation energies, oscillator strengths, and excitation operators from the ground states are obtained for the low-lying valence (under 10 eV above the ground state) states of CO at the experimental ground state equilibrium geometry. We apply these techniques to obtain the excited state dipole moments for and oscillator strengths between the A 1, a 3, a 3+, and d 3 states of CO and compare our results to other calculations and experiments. 1982.
