Electric and magnetic properties of fullerenes

We present fully analytical ab initio calculations of the electric polarizability, the second hyperpolarizability, and the magnetizability of the fullerenes C₇₀ and C₈₄ at the self-consistent field level of theory using large basis sets and - in the case of the magnetizability - London atomic orbitals in order to obtain gauge-origin independent results. These calculations are the first ab initio studies of such properties for C₇₀ and C₈₄, and all results are expected to be of near Hartree-Fock limit quality. By comparison with similar results reported earlier for C₆₀, valuable insight into the electronic structure of the fullerenes is obtained.
