- dipole_integrals(mol, core=None, active=None)[source]¶
Return a function that computes the dipole moment integrals over the molecular orbitals.
These integrals are required to construct the dipole operator in the second-quantized form
\[\hat{D} = -\sum_{pq} d_{pq} [\hat{c}_{p\uparrow}^\dagger \hat{c}_{q\uparrow} + \hat{c}_{p\downarrow}^\dagger \hat{c}_{q\downarrow}] - \hat{D}_\mathrm{c} + \hat{D}_\mathrm{n},\]where the coefficients \(d_{pq}\) are given by the integral of the position operator \(\hat{{\bf r}}\) over molecular orbitals \(\phi\)
\[d_{pq} = \int \phi_p^*(r) \hat{{\bf r}} \phi_q(r) dr,\]and \(\hat{c}^{\dagger}\) and \(\hat{c}\) are the creation and annihilation operators, respectively. The contribution of the core orbitals and nuclei are denoted by \(\hat{D}_\mathrm{c}\) and \(\hat{D}_\mathrm{n}\), respectively.
The molecular orbitals are represented as a linear combination of atomic orbitals as
\[\phi_i(r) = \sum_{\nu}c_{\nu}^i \chi_{\nu}(r).\]Using this equation the dipole moment integral \(d_{pq}\) can be written as
\[d_{pq} = \sum_{\mu \nu} C_{p \mu} d_{\mu \nu} C_{\nu q},\]where \(d_{\mu \nu}\) is the dipole moment integral over the atomic orbitals and \(C\) is the molecular orbital expansion coefficient matrix. The contribution of the core molecular orbitals is computed as
\[\hat{D}_\mathrm{c} = 2 \sum_{i=1}^{N_\mathrm{core}} d_{ii},\]where \(N_\mathrm{core}\) is the number of core orbitals.
