Model systems hopping

Since the most important orbitals in the model system 3 (the D and A 71-orbitals and the relevant highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (MO s) of each PE moiety) have the same qualitative nodal structure with respect to rotation about the OPE axis (i.e., a single node), we approximate the transformation behavior under such rotations (6>y) in terms of sin6> and cos /. Accordingly, the hopping integrals (T, t) in Eq. 101 may be elaborated as follows ... 

A rigorous description of electron hopping in the presence of other unpaired electrons can be written down for the simple model system defined in Fig. 6.4. The two electrons in the ai and b orbitals provide a static background of unpaired electrons for the mobile electron in the 02 b2 channel. Choosing Ms = there are 24 ways to distribute the three electrons over the four orbitals, but only six of them... 

The motion of a heavy particle when accompanied by a screening cloud of band electrons was first studied by Kondo (1984) and later by Kagan and Prokofev (1986) as a model for muon diffusion in metals. Liu (1987) and Kagan and Prokofev (1987) independently proposed that the same mechanism applies in heavy-fermion systems. The idea is that the f band is formed by the hopping of an f hole whose motion is accompanied by the screening cloud. Just like the band problem in the spin fluctuation resonance model, the hopping is the result of the hybridization interaction. Consequently, the dispersion of the f band is again solved from eq. (52) where Gf(to) is now calculated from the f hole spectrum in eq. (57) (Liu 1987, 1988) ... 

S o far, the structure of the coherent medij m described by has not been specified. The structure ofJU should be determined by the nature of the actual system which we treat. We restrict our discussion to a case where the set of sites f ) forms a regular lattice and the transition rate Wg g, is zero unless two sites T and s are nearest neighbor to each other Though this model system is a very simplified one, it will work well if the hopping probabilities wg g are given a suitable distribution.

By using this approach, it is possible to calculate vibrational state-selected cross-sections from minimal END trajectories obtained with a classical description of the nuclei. We have studied vibrationally excited H2(v) molecules produced in collisions with 30-eV protons [42,43]. The relevant experiments were performed by Toennies et al. [46] with comparisons to theoretical studies using the trajectory surface hopping model [11,47] fTSHM). This system has also stimulated a quantum mechanical study [48] using diatomics-in-molecule (DIM) surfaces [49] and invoicing the infinite-onler sudden approximation (lOSA). 

Other studies have also been made on the dynamics around a conical intersection in a model 2D system, both for dissociahve [225] and bound-state [226] problems. Comparison between surface hopping and exact calculations show reasonable agreement when the coupling between the surfaces is weak, but larger errors are found in the shong coupling limit.
