A semiclassical non-adiabatic phase-space approach to molecular translations and rotations: A new picture of surface hopping and electronic inertial effects
Xuezhi Bian, Yanze Wu, Tian Qiu +2
We present a novel semiclassical phase-space surface hopping approach that goes beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and all existing surface hopping formalisms. We demonstrat…
An Efficient Algorithm for Constrained CASSCF(1,2) and CASSCF(3,2) Simulations as Relevant to Electron and Hole Transfer Problems
Tian Qiu, Joseph E. Subotnik
We propose an efficient algorithm for the recently published electron/hole-transfer Dynamical-weighted State-averaged Constrained CASSCF (eDSC/hDSC) method studying charge transfer…
Practical Phase-Space Electronic Hamiltonians for Ab Initio Dynamics
Zhen Tao, Tian Qiu, Mansi Bhati +5
Modern electronic structure theory is built around the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and the construction of an electronic Hamiltonian H_{el}(X) that depends on the nuclear positi…
A Simple One-Electron Expression for Electron Rotational Factors
Tian Qiu, Mansi Bhati, Zhen Tao +4
Within the context of FSSH dynamics, one often wishes to remove the angular component of the derivative coupling between states and . In a set of p…
Surface Hopping, Electron Translation Factors, Electron Rotation Factors, Momentum Conservation, and Size Consistency
Vishikh Athavale, Xuezhi Bian, Zhen Tao +5
For a system without spin-orbit coupling, the (i) nuclear plus electronic linear momentum and (ii) nuclear plus orbital electronic angular momentum are good quantum numbers. Thus,…
