Vectors conic equations

In this chapter, we discussed the significance of the GP effect in chemical reactions, that is, the influence of the upper electronic state(s) on the reactive and nonreactive transition probabilities of the ground adiabatic state. In order to include this effect, the ordinary BO equations are extended either by using a HLH phase or by deriving them from first principles. Considering the HLH phase due to the presence of a conical intersection between the ground and the first excited state, the general fomi of the vector potential, hence the effective... 

The ordinary BO approximate equations failed to predict the proper symmetry allowed transitions in the quasi-JT model whereas the extended BO equation either by including a vector potential in the system Hamiltonian or by multiplying a phase factor onto the basis set can reproduce the so-called exact results obtained by the two-surface diabatic calculation. Thus, the calculated hansition probabilities in the quasi-JT model using the extended BO equations clearly demonshate the GP effect. The multiplication of a phase factor with the adiabatic nuclear wave function is an approximate treatment when the position of the conical intersection does not coincide with the origin of the coordinate axis, as shown by the results of [60]. Moreover, even if the total energy of the system is far below the conical intersection point, transition probabilities in the JT model clearly indicate the importance of the extended BO equation and its necessity. 

The ADT matrix for the lowest two electronic states of H3 has recently been obtained [55]. These states display a conical intersection at equilateral triangle geometi ies, but the GP effect can be easily built into the treatment of the reactive scattering equations. Since, for two electronic states, there is only one nonzero first-derivative coupling vector, w5 2 (Rl), we will refer to it in the rest of this... 

Consider the behavior of the Navier-Stokes equations for the two-dimensional flow in a conical channel as illustrated by Fig. 3.17. Begin with the constant-viscosity Navier-Stokes equations written in the general vector form as... 

To apply the above equations to H + H2, an expression of the vector potential A(R,r,y) is needed, this can be obtained from (19) once the angle a(R, r, y) has been specified. As mentioned before, this angle can be chosen in a free way provided that a = 0 2jt describes a closed path around the conical intersection. The angle a is chosen to be the pseudo-rotation polar angle of the Dsh doubly degenerate normal mode, which is given by [30] ... 

The position vector V is determined by the point A2 (on the sample), and vector U is a vector from point Ai (on the source) to point 2- Equations (12a-12f) together with Equations (13a-13c) can be used in an arbitrary coordinate system to obtained the equation of the conic in form Equation (7). In the next section... 

This clearly demonstrates that the effect of the conical intersection is to add a vector potential, analogous to the vector potential A in semiclassical electromagnetic theory, to the nuclear Schrodinger equation in the adiabatic limit. Calculations based on Eq. (11) have recently been reported [39, 42, 43]. 

Equation (15) has the same mathematical form as the vector potential of a magnetic solenoid located at the conical intersection. " - gy taking the curl of Eq. (15), we find that the corresponding magnetic field is zero... 

In these last equations, g = <5 is the gradient difference vector and h = A is the linear derivative coupling vector. The space spanned by these two vectors is called the - ft space or branching space whereas the space orthogonal to the branching space is the intersection space, also called conical intersection seam. Thus, a conical intersection is a subspace of the nuclear configuration space of dimension 3N-8, where N denotes the number of atoms of the system (the space of the nuclear configurations is of dimension 3N-6).
