    Notes: Various approximations are used currently to evaluate the static part Σ(∞) of the self-energy or optical potential in molecular Green's function calculations. Since its expansion is ruled out by the linked-cluster theorem, one generally assumes a size-intensive behavior of Σ(∞) in the thermodynamic limit of an infinite system. A detailed analysis of this size-dependence property is conducted using the formulation of crystalline orbitals (CO) for stereoregular polymers. In spite of the linked-cluster theorem, this study provides evidence for a logarithmic divergence with respect to the size of a chain for some forms of Σ(∞), computed with common approximation schemes. This is the direct outcome of the long-range character of the Coulombic interaction and can be related to a violation in the number of particles within the system. A proper size-intensive behavior implies an exact cancellation of the logarithmically divergent behavior of antigraphs. The conclusions drawn from CO analysis are confirmed by numerical tests on model oligomer systems. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Advances in the time propagation of multidimensional wave packets are exploited to present the A-band photodissociation dynamics of methyl iodide for five active vibrational modes on the three relevant excited ab initio potential surfaces. The five modes considered represent all of the experimentally observed dynamical activity. The only modes neglected are the asymmetric C–H stretch and the asymmetric deformation of the methyl group. The kinetic energy operator corresponding to these five degrees of freedom is derived. The fully quantum mechanical calculation was implemented upon grids using 2880 distinct time-dependent configurations, determined by the multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree algorithm, for each electronic state. All of the currently known experimental results regarding the umbrella vibration, symmetric C–H stretching vibration, perpendicular rotation, and parallel rotation of the photodissociated methyl radical fragment are well reproduced. The full wavelength dependence of all of these quantities is determined. The wavelength dependence of the energy deposited into translational, vibrational, and rotational motion is also given. The time evolution of the modes is presented in the context of correlated motion and its effect upon the dissociative process. Many of the details of the dynamics inherent to the conically intersecting nature of the excited surfaces is delineated. In particular it is shown that the Jahn–Teller distortion of the 1Q1 state is irrelevant in contributing to the perpendicular character of resonance Raman depolarization ratios. Results are compared and contrasted to previous calculations employing the collinear pseudotriatomic model with optimized empirical surfaces or the bent pseudotriatomic model with the same ab initio surfaces.

    Notes: The x-ray photoionization spectra of large saturated hydrocarbons have been investigated by means of one-particle Green's function calculations. These spectra saturate overall rather quickly to their asymptotic form with increasing system size. The results obtained indicate a severe breakdown of the molecular orbital picture of ionization above a binding energy threshold of about 23 eV, for n-alkane chains ranging from n-propane to n-nonane, or cycloalkane compounds such as cyclobutane, cyclopentane, and cyclohexane. In spite of the fast multiplication of satellite solutions, shake-up lines remain confined above that threshold, as a result of the delocalization properties of one-electron canonical states. The ring closure is shown to emphasize the dispersion of photoionization intensity into satellites. Conformational changes, on the other hand, have only marginal effects on the convoluted correlation bands. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Inner-valence ionized states of weakly bound systems like van der Waals clusters can efficiently decay by electron emission. The mechanism of the decay, which does not occur in the isolated monomer units constituting the clusters has recently been shown to be of intermolecular/interatomic nature. This intermolecular/interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) mechanism prevails in many systems ranging from hydrogen-bonded molecular clusters to atomic rare gas clusters. In the present paper we extend our previous studies to weakly bound heteroclusters built up of monomer units of largely differing energetics. It is shown that, as soon as the double ionization potential of a monomer unit is lower in energy than the ionization potential of the initially created inner-valence vacancy on a neighboring monomer unit, an additional electronic decay process can take place. In contrast to the ICD mechanism, which involves an efficient energy transfer between the monomer units, this second process is essentially based on an electron transfer process. It is therefore termed electron-transfer mediated decay (ETMD). We have analyzed the mechanisms of the electronic decay processes taking place following inner-valence ionization in weakly bound heteroclusters in an exemplary study of the NeAr dimer. The involved electronic states have been calculated using ab initio Green's function techniques. The lifetime of the inner-valence Ne(2s−1)Ar vacancy has been estimated and partitioned according to the contributions of the two decay channels based on a perturbation-theoretical description of the decay process. As a result, the lifetime of the inner-valence resonance state is estimated to be of the order of 10–100 fs, the specific value strongly depending on the internuclear separation of the monomers. The ICD process is shown to be by far the dominant decay channel at distances corresponding to bound states of the dimer. With decreasing internuclear separation the ratio of the ETMD and ICD decay widths quickly increases over several orders of magnitude. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Calculating electronic resonance states in molecules is a serious challenge to theory, because the treatment of both the scattering and the many-electron problem is a formidable task. A very promising approach, known as CAP/CI, consists of the combination of a complex absorbing potential with the method of configuration interaction. In this paper we propose the combination of three distinct computational techniques in order to boost the performance of CAP/CI. A complex absorbing potential that can be adjusted flexibly to the geometry of the molecular scattering target is presented and its representation in a Gaussian basis set is discussed. To handle the large-scale complex symmetric eigenvalue problem arising in CAP/CI, a subspace projection method is employed and its validity is shown. We advocate the use of parallel filter diagonalization for calculating the eigenvectors required in the projection step. The proposed techniques are applied to determine the lifetime of an autoionizing, inner-valence excited state of Ne2+. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Description: Recently, it has been revealed that so-called light-induced conical intersections (LICIs) can be formed both by standing or by running laser waves even in diatomic molecules. Due to the strong nonadiabatic couplings, the existence of such LICIs has significant impact on the dynamical properties of a molecular system. In our former studies, the photodissociation process of the D 2 + molecule was studied initiating the nuclear dynamics both from individual vibrational levels and from the superposition of all the vibrational states produced by ionizing D 2 . In the present work, linearly chirped laser pulses were used for initiating the dissociation dynamics of D 2 + . In contrast to the constant frequency (transform limited) laser fields, the chirped pulses give rise to LICIs with a varying position according to the temporal frequency change. To demonstrate the impact of these LICIs on the dynamical properties of diatomics, the kinetic energy release spectra, the total dissociation probabilities, and the angular distributions of the D 2 + photofragments were calculated and discussed.

    Description: In the presence of linearly varying frequency chirped laser pulses, the photodissociation dynamics of D 2 + is studied theoretically after ionization of D 2 . As a completion of our recent work [A. Csehi et al. , J. Chem. Phys. 143 , 014305 (2015)], a comprehensive dependence on the pulse duration and delay time is presented in terms of total dissociation probabilities. Our numerical analysis carried out in the recently introduced light-induced conical intersection (LICI) framework clearly shows the effects of the changing position of the LICI which is induced by the frequency modulation of the chirped laser pulses. This impact is presented for positively, negatively, and zero chirped short pulses.

    Description: Many-body processes inevitably lead to the transition from one many-body wavefunction to another. Due to the complexity of the initial and final states many-body wavefunctions, one often wishes to try and describe such transitions using only a single-particle function. While there are numerous types of orbitals and densities which are commonly used, the question remains which one is optimal and in which sense. Here we present the optimal one and two body functions whose anti-symmetrized product with the initial state yields the maximal overlap with the final state. A definition of the above optimal condition and its rigorous proof are given. The resulting optimal functions shed additional light on the well-known Dyson orbital and reduced transition matrix, demonstrating further their physical meaning as independent functions.

    Description: The impact of the solvent on the photodissociation of embedded molecules has been intensively investigated in the last decades. Collisions of photofragments with the solvating atoms or molecules can change their kinetic energy distribution or even lead to the de-excitation of the dissociating molecule to a bound electronic state quenching the dissociation. In this article we show that this cage effect is strongly enhanced if interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) of the excited state becomes allowed. Ab initio calculations in H 2 O–Cl − cluster show that the ultra-fast dissociation of water in the A ̃ excited state is strongly quenched by ICD. We found that this very efficient quenching is due to two factors. First, the lifetimes of the A ̃ state due to ICD are short ranging between 6 and 30 fs. Second, nuclear dynamics is dominated by the chattering motion of the H atom between O and Cl − allowing ICD to act for longer times. We hope that this work will be an important first step in clarifying the impact of ICD on photodissociation of embedded molecules.
