Expressions are derived for the expansion of the total energy of the electrons in their ground state in a crystal in powers of displacements of the nuclei from their equilibrium configuration. The expansion is taken up to third order on the basis of the coupled Hartree-Fock equations and thus one obtains expressions for the electronic contributions to the dynamical and anharmonic tensors.
