A Perspective on Phase Space Electronic Structure Theory : From Its Surface Hopping Origins Through To Its Future Promise

Joseph E. Subotnik, Ethan Alguire, Nicole Bellonzi +20

We trace the history of phase space electronic structure theory (PSEST), high- lighting how this powerful approach emerged from fundamental questions in semi- classical surface hop…

Charge Transfer with a Spin. II: A Framework for Diabatization which Localizes Charge and Spin

Alok Kumar, Zhen Tao, Zuxin Jin +2

We investigate a diabatization procedure that localizes charges (in real space) and localizes spins (in spin space) for open-shell systems that exhibit charge transfer in the prese…

Charge Transfer with a Spin. I: A Generalized CASSCF Framework for Investigating Charge Transfer in the Presence of Spin-Orbit Coupling

Alok Kumar, Zhen Tao, Joseph E. Subotnik +1

We present a generalized extension of the recently developed electron/hole-transfer Dynamically-weighted State-Averaged Constrained CASSCF (eDSC/hDSC) method to model charge transf…

Phase Space Electronic Structure Theory: From Diatomic Lambda-Doubling to Macroscopic Einstein-de Haas

Linqing Peng, Tian Qiu, Nadine Bradbury +5

-doubling of diatomic molecules is a subtle microscopic phenomenon that has long attracted the attention of experimental groups, insofar as rotation of molecular $\textit{nucle…

Marcus Theory and The Condon Approximation Revisited II: The Horror of Triplet Energy Transfer

Jennifer R. DeRosa, Tian Qiu, D. Vale Cofer-Shabica +1

We investigate the applicability of the Condon approximation (i.e. the notion that the diabatic coupling is invariant to geometry) in the context of both electron transfer (ET) and…

Fast Methods For Multisite Charge Transfer Processes II: Analytic Nuclear Gradients and Nonadiabatic Dynamics For cCASSCF(1,M) and cCASSCF(2M-1,M) Wavefunctions

Tian Qiu, Joseph E. Subotnik

We derive and implement analytic nuclear gradients and derivative couplings for a constrained Complete Active Space Self-Consistent Field with a small active space designed to mode…
