MD-TSH

Thus, molecular vibrations play a crucial role in ET processes, and MD calculations involving quantum transitions, such as our MD-TSH method, offer considerable promise as a powerful tool for investigating their role in ET reactions.

As mentioned in Section 1.2.3, the measurement of Tice can also be used as a quantitatively measurable criterion to terminate MD and change to SD. Figure 2.90 summarizes the T. data for six different mns with 10% saccharose solution, d = 10 mm, pc = 0.15 mbar. The different parameters are number of vials, freezing rate, Tsh, time elapsed between end of freezing and start of drying. 

The increase in DR values during 2 h after the change from MD to SD indicates that some ice was still present and sublimed during the increase in Tsh. Run 5 was switched over at about the optimum time, run 6 could have been changed from MD to SD 1-1.5 h and mn 2 3 h earlier. To optimize the change the recommendations given above regarding the decrease in Tice at the end of MD compared with max. 71 /n can be used. 

Recently, Garth Jones (UNSW) and his co-workers have described a semi-classical molecular dynamics (MD) model, which incorporates the trajectory surface hopping (TSH) method, that shows promise in investigating a number of important problems concerning the effects of molecular vibrations on the dynamics of ET reactions, including formally symmetry-forbidden ones. Essentially,...
