Calculation of molecular electric polarizabilities and dipole moments. II. The LiH molecule

We use a variation–perturbation method to calculate the electric polarizabilities and the electric dipole moment of the LiH molecule. We obtain 4.455 for the perpendicular polarizability and 4.001 (×10 −24 cm 3 ) for the parallel polarizability. Our result for the electric dipole moment at equilibrium nuclear distance is 5.866, which is in excellent agreement with the experimental value 5.828 debye units.
