Abstract

The general equation for the adiabatic second-order derivative of the energy En of an eigenstate with respect to parameters λ and λ′ occurring in the Hamiltonian ℋ is

The applications of this equation to molecules (λ, λ′ = nuclear position coordinates) and to enclosed assemblies of interacting particles (λ = λ′ = volume) are discussed, and the classical analogue of the equation for a micro-canonical ensemble is derived.
