Phys. Rev. A 66, 024701 (2002) [3 pages]Molecular transition moments at large internuclear distancesReceived 4 March 2002; published 5 August 2002 The behavior of the dipole moments of molecular transitions is analyzed as a function of the internuclear distance R and it is shown that for allowed transitions the departure of the dipole moment from the value for the unperturbed atom varies as R-3 with a coefficient that can be obtained from the dynamic polarizability of one atom evaluated at the unperturbed transition frequency of the other. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
