The tight binding Hamiltonian of Su, Schrieffer, and Heeger has been used to describe the physical properties of the polyacetylene chain. The chain temperature is calculated from the potential energy which is directly related to the CH group displacement. Two different forms of the displacements have been considered: random and Gaussian. The third harmonic generation susceptibility spectra have been plotted in terms of the temperature using the four-wave mixing formula. The results show that a second peak at the mid gap energy has occurred for room temperature which is in good agreement with the experimental data.
