The static dipole polarizability for the ground state of C(3Π ), N(4∑+), O(3Π ) and F(2∑+ ) have been calculated using ab initio molecular orbital techniques. The polarizabilities are obtained from unrestricted Hartree-Fock and Many-Body Perturbation Theory wave functions with and without spin projection, which are computed by finite-field differentiation. The effect of spin contamination is shown to be important on the calculation of static dipole polarizabilities for the ground state of C, N, O and F.
