Abstract

The incremental diamagnetic susceptibility tensor of the 3Σ+u state of H2 is obtained using an electron gas theory. This state of the hydrogen molecule is a model for the ground state of a system of interacting closed shell species. Because the energy functional is a gauge independent functional of the electron density, there is no separation of the susceptibility tensor into paramagnetic and diamagnetic portions. The results agree in sign, but not magnitude, with a simple valence bond calculation using London orbitals.
