Dynamic multipole polarizabilities and long range interaction coefficients for the systems H, Li, Na, K, He, H−, H2, Li2, Na2, and K2

Different approaches to the calculation of dynamic polarizabilities are briefly discussed and compared. Using a perturbational approach dynamic multipole polarizabilities are calculated from full valence configuration interaction wave functions. The polarizabilities are expressed in terms of reduced spectra which, in turn, are used to compute the dispersion and induction coefficients for all combinations of the systems listed, including anisotropic contributions.
