Name: Atomic unit of 1st hyperpolarizability — CODATA 2022 value
Creator: NIST

Value: 3.206 361 2996 × 10⁻⁵³
Unit: C³·m³·J⁻²
Uncertainty: 0.000 000 0015 × 10⁻⁵³
Copy-ready: 3.2063612996e-53

The atomic unit of 1st hyperpolarizability: the natural size of 1st hyperpolarizability in the Hartree system, where ℏ, e, mₑ and 4πε₀ all equal 1.

Quantum-chemistry and atomic-physics codes report 1st hyperpolarizability in atomic units; multiply a result by this value to get it in SI.
