Coupled nuclear and electron dynamics in the vicinity of a conical intersection
arXiv:2102.13547 · doi:10.1063/5.0041365
Abstract
Ultrafast optical techniques allow to study ultrafast molecular dynamics involving both nuclear and electronic motion.To support interpretation, theoretical approaches are needed that can describe both the nuclear and electron dynamics.Hence, we revisit and expand our ansatz for the coupled description of the nuclear and electron dynamics in molecular systems (NEMol). In this purely quantum mechanical ansatz the quantum-dynamical description of the nuclear motion is combined with the calculation of the electron dynamics in the eigenfunction basis. The NEMol ansatz is applied to simulate the coupled dynamics of the molecule NO2 in the vicinity of a conical intersection (CoIn) with a special focus on the coherent electron dynamics induced by the non-adiabatic coupling. Furthermore, we aim to control the dynamics of the system when passing the CoIn. The control scheme relies on the carrier envelope phase (CEP) of a few-cycle IR pulse. The laser pulse influences both the movement of the nuclei and the electrons during the population transfer through the CoIn.
