Abstract:
We have calculated the high harmonic generation spectra from Xe atom by imposing different kinds of absorbing potentials. Owing to the center of inversion of the model system, one should get odd harmonics only. However, using negative imaginary potentials as an absorbing boundary condition, we have also got even order harmonics along with the odd order harmonics. These non-odd order harmonics are generated due to the spurious reflections occurring at the grid boundary. On the contrary, when smooth exterior scaling methods are used as an absorbing boundary condition, only odd order harmonics are obtained. Hence, smooth exterior scaling methods impose proper absorbing boundary condition.

Harmonic Mean
Take the example of the speed of a car, which is the measure of the rate of distance traveled. If the vehicle traverses the same distance back-and-forth, its average speed equals the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. However, if the car moves with varying speeds, then the arithmetic mean is more skewed...
