This brief describes the quantum-mechanical treatment of the response to one or more external oscillating electric fields for molecular and macroscopic, crystalline systems. To calculate NLO properties of large systems, a linear scaling generalized elongation method for the efficient and accurate calculation is introduced. The reader should be aware that this treatment is particularly feasible for complicated three-dimensional and/or delocalized systems that are intractable when applied to conventional or other linear scaling methods.SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Atoms, Molecules, and Clusters,2730-7751Chemistry, Physical and theoreticalOpticsElectrodynamicsNanotechnologyProteinsTheoretical and Computational Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C25007Classical Electrodynamicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P21070Nanotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000Protein Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14040Chemistry, Physical and theoretical.Optics.Electrodynamics.Nanotechnology.Proteins.Theoretical and Computational Chemistry.Classical Electrodynamics.Nanotechnology.Protein Science.535.2Gu Feng Longauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut860915Aoki Yurikoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSpringborg Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autKirtman Bernardauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298619103321Calculations on nonlinear optical properties for large systems1921247UNINA03502nam 2200577 a 450 991095470790332120251116160355.00-87969-659-1(CKB)111056486865748(OCoLC)607898669(CaPaEBR)ebrary10006733(SSID)ssj0000096216(PQKBManifestationID)12033909(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000096216(PQKBWorkID)10076507(PQKB)10296584(MiAaPQ)EBC3137903(Au-PeEL)EBL3137903(CaPaEBR)ebr10006733(OCoLC)922997993(BIP)6458702(EXLCZ)9911105648686574820000322d2000 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrAbraham Lincoln's DNA and other adventures in genetics /Philip R.
