What it is

The unit of 1st hyperpolarizability in the Hartree system of atomic units, where the electron mass, the elementary charge, ħ and 4πε₀ are all set to 1. Its value here is the SI equivalent of one atomic unit.

How the value changed, 1998–2022

Each point is one CODATA adjustment, plotted as its difference from the 2022 value; the bars show one standard uncertainty (an arrowhead means the bar runs off the chart).

“Change from previous” is the shift in the value divided by the standard uncertainty of the previous adjustment. Earlier values are converted into the current unit where NIST changed it (for example J s to J Hz⁻¹).
