T1  - Computation of high-harmonic generation spectra of the hydrogen molecule using time-dependent configuration-interaction
JF  - Molecular physics
N2  - Here we apply and expand the knowledge developed in the case of the H atom to describe high-harmonic generation (HHG) for the H-2 molecule by using time-dependent configuration interaction with single excitations. The implications of using a finite atomic orbital basis set and the impact of a heuristic lifetime model which addresses ionisation losses are discussed. We also examine the influence of the angular momentum of the basis on the computed HHG spectra. Moreover, we discuss the impact of adding diffuse functions and ghost atoms in different geometrical configurations around the molecule. The effects of these additional centres on the HHG spectra are correlated with the physical interpretation of this nonlinear optical phenomenon as given by the three-step model, relating the maximal radial extent of the electron as predicted by the model to the radial extent of the Gaussian basis sets.
