Dipole-dipole polarizability of the cadmium -=SUP=-1-=/SUP=-S-=SUB=-0-=/SUB=- state revisited -=SUP=-*-=/SUP=-

Experimental results and high-level quantum chemical ab initio calculations of the static polarizability α=α(ω=0)) of the cadmium 1S0 state are still in marked disagreement. Here we analyze this discrepancy by using experimentally determined dipole oscillator strength distributions (DOSD). It will be shown that within this procedure the experimentally determined static polarizability α0 will shift from 49.7± 1.6 au to considerably lower values. We now conclude an experimentally determined polarizability of α0 = 47.5 ± 2.0 au in much better agreement with the latest calculations of α0~ 46 au. Keywords: cadmium, polarizability, DOSD

How accurate are static polarizability predictions from density functional theory? An assessment over 132 species at equilibrium geometry

Static polarizabilities are the first response of the electron density to electric fields, and offer a formally exact measure of the accuracy of excited states. We have developed a benchmark database of polarizabilities and have assessed the performance of 60 popular and recent functionals in predicting them.

Effects of the Hofmeister series of sodium salts on the solvent properties of water

Distances between the signatures of salt effects on water solvent features depend on static polarizability of the anion and water structural entropy.
