Abstract
A symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) is formulated for interaction-induced electrical properties of weakly bound complexes. Asymptotic (large R) expressions are reported for the contributions to the collision-induced dipole moments and polarizabilities up to and including second order in the intermolecular potential. These long-range expressions require knowledge only of the multipole moments and (hyper)polarizabilities of the isolated monomers. Numerical results are given for the dipole moment of He-H2 and the polarizability of He2 and the accuracy of the SAPT approach is examined by comparison with full configuration interaction results. The role of various physical contributions to the dipole moment of He-H2 and the polarizability of He2 is investigated. The validity of the long-range approximation and the importance of charge penetration (damping) effects are discussed.
