Abstract

The vibrational contributions to second-order transition properties are considered in the framework of the Born—Oppenheimer approximation. It is shown that the usual formula for vibrational second-order transition matrix elements is incomplete and needs to be supplemented by a term of purely vibrational origin. This pure vibrational contribution is calculated for vibrational transition polarizabilities in LiH and BeF and found to be quite significant. Its inclusion in theoretically calculated data for the Raman intensities appears to be necessary.
