Water_polarizability is useful only for the anisotropic polarization 
watre model described in the paper that I mentioned (JPC
105 pp. 2618-2626 (2001). The other polarizability corresponds to a 
shell/drude on a spring.

Thole is described in a number of papers (but please check the 
implementation).
