23. j to denote the mixed second derivative of the potential energy with respect to the modes i and j expressed in the relevant coordinate set. This is related, but not equal, to an element of the diagonalized Hessian. Conversion of the eigenvector back into the mode is accomplished by undoing the mass weighting used to construct the Hessian. See methods of Ref. 19.
