Abstract

The polarized orbitals produced by simultaneous optimization of both bound and continuum multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock wave functions at each kinetic energy of the scattering electron in low-energy electron-atom collisions are used to calculate the frequency-dependent dipole polarizability of the ground state of atomic oxygen. Excellent agreement is obtained with experiment and other theoretical calculations, indicating that this ab initio approach is a powerful tool for determining accurate frequency-dependent atomic dipole polarizabilities.
