Excited state density

DensilysCurrent Specifies that population analysis procedures use the excited state density matrix rather than the ground state SCF density. 

We ve specified five excited states with NSlotes=5 (the reasons will be clear in a moment). The DensitysAll keyword tells Gaussian to perform the population analysis using all available densities the SCF (ground state) density, the Cl one-partide density, and the Cl (Cl-Singles) density. The population analyses using excited state densities will be performed for the first excited state (the default if the Root option is not included), which is the one in which we are interested. 

There are other noteworthy single excited-state theories. Gorling developed a stationary principle for excited states in density functional theory [41]. A formalism based on the integral and differential virial theorems of quantum mechanics was proposed by Sahni and coworkers for excited state densities [42], The local scaling approach of Ludena and Kryachko has also been generalized to excited states [43].

Two approaches to the excited-state problem have been the focus of this chapter. The nonvariational one, based on Kato s theorem, is pleasing in that it does not require a bifunctional, but it presumes that the excited-state density is known. On the other hand, the bifunctional approach is appealing in that it actually generates the desired excited-state density, which results in the generation of more known constraints on the universal functional for approximation purposes. 

The procedure can be repeated to deal with unpolarized initial states [12]. It is possible to sum analytically over the m quantum numbers of Eq. (3) [13] to obtain the unpolarized excited-state density matrix pex(t) = lrmX1Fm from an equation similar to Eq. (11).

A log-log plot of ionization signal versus laser power, as shown in Fig. 4, shows an initial slope of 0.5 and tends to level off at higher densities. This again can be explained by the equilibrated process (1), which leads to the square root relationship between ion-density and excited state density for low laser power where no saturation occurs. The initial slope of 0.5 also shows that multiphoton ionization is negligible since the latter process would give rise to a stronger dependency of ionization signal on the laser power. 

If the quantum numbers J", J and J" considerably exceed unity, as frequently occurs in the case of molecules, then such a system can easily be solved only in situations where excitation takes place in weak light. At such excitation light does not affect the ground state density matrix, and the equations of motion of the excited state density matrix elements...

This simple model ignores molecular dynamics problems as well as information on additional excited states, density of vibrational levels, vibronic coupling matrix elements, etc., which are required in more sophisticated advanced applications.

It is seen that the excited-state densities Ni, N2 are determined by a pumping term Py 1, jyg (t) and a loss therm Lyi, nz W referring to the colli-sional processes. The loss rate Lm(t) might, for instance, be given by...
