Notes:
The quantum theory of the Faraday effect or magnetic rotatory power is set up for diamagnetic molecules and is based upon a variation-perturbation method which, unlike the usual Dirac perturbation theory, needs only the knowledge of the wave function ψ0(0) of the ground state of the non-perturbed molecule. The principle of this theory includes in the expression of the perturbed wave function, vectors which characterize the contribution of the different fields of perturbation. The quantities which descríbe the Faraday effect, obtained from the calculation of the electric and magnetic macroscopic dipole moments, are expressed from ψ0(0) and the vectors precedently introduced. They are determined by a variation calculus.
