Abstract

Abstract: In this paper we present calculations of the static polarizability and its derivativesfor the adamantane molecule carried out at the density functional theory level using theB3LYP exchange-correlation functional and Sadlej’s polarized valence triple zeta basisset. It is shown that the polarizability tensor is necessary to correct long-rangebehavior of DFT functionals used in electron-molecule scattering calculations. The impactof such a long-range correction is demonstrated on elastic and vibrationally inelasticelectron collisions with adamantane, a molecule representing a large polyatomic target forelectron scattering calculations.
