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 Variational Constrained-CASSCF Framework for Investigating Charge Transfer in the Presence of Spin-Orbit Coupling

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

Charge transfer in open-shell molecular systems can involve a delicate interplay between charge localization, orbital relaxation, and spin-orbit coupling (SOC), particularly near g…

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…
