Spectroscopic photorelaxation signatures in pyrazine from nonadiabatic dynamics simulations with coupled cluster theory

Sara Angelico, Eirik F. Kjønstad, Yi-Ping Chang +3

Despite extensive theoretical and experimental efforts, the mechanisms underlying the ultrafast relaxation of pyrazine after photoexcitation remain challenging to disentangle. Rece…

Similarity Constrained CC2 for Efficient Coupled Cluster Nonadiabatic Dynamics

Leo Stoll, Sara Angelico, Eirik F. Kjønstad +1

Despite their high accuracy, standard coupled cluster models cannot be used for nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations because they yield unphysical complex excitation energie…

Determining minimum energy conical intersections by enveloping the seam: exploring ground and excited state intersections in coupled cluster theory

Sara Angelico, Eirik F. Kjønstad, Henrik Koch

Minimum energy conical intersections can be used to rationalize photochemical processes. In this Letter, we examine an algorithm to locate these structures that does not require th…

Understanding failures in electronic structure methods arising from the geometric phase effect

Eirik F. Kjønstad, Henrik Koch

The geometric phase effect arises from the dependence on the nuclear coordinates in the electronic Hamiltonian, leading to sign changes of the electronic wave functions upon traver…

Resolving the notorious case of conical intersections for coupled cluster dynamics

Eirik F. Kjønstad, Henrik Koch

The motion of electrons and nuclei in photochemical events often involve conical intersections, degeneracies between electronic states. They serve as funnels for nuclear relaxation…
