J. Marti et al., MOLECULAR ELECTRIC PROPERTIES AND NUCLEAR AND VIBRATIONAL-RELAXATION - AN AB-INITIO STUDY OF HF, CH4 AND C2H4, Molecular physics, 80(3), 1993, pp. 625-633
The effects of nuclear relaxation and change in vibrational molecular
energy are accounted for in the theoretical determination of the molec
ular properties of HF, CH4, and C2H4. A method based on a finite-diffe
rence technique is employed. An analysis of the influence of these con
tributions versus the purely electronic contribution is made, together
with an appraisal of the effect of vibrational excitation.
