Polarizabilities and Hyperpolarizabilities for Lithium Atoms in Debye Plasmas

The effects of plasma environments on energies, oscillator strengths, polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities for lithium atom have been calculated by combining the I-dependent model potential of free lithium atom and linear variation method based on B-spline basis functions. The influence of plasma on lithium atom is represented by the Debye screened potential, which describes effectively the averaged effect of the plasma environment on atomic spectra. The results are in agreement with other reported ones.
