Molecular systems transformation matrices

In Section IV.A, the adiabatic-to-diabatic transformation matrix as well as the diabatic potentials were derived for the relevant sub-space without running into theoretical conflicts. In other words, the conditions in Eqs. (10) led to a.finite sub-Hilbert space which, for all practical purposes, behaves like a full (infinite) Hilbert space. However it is inconceivable that such strict conditions as presented in Eq. (10) are fulfilled for real molecular systems. Thus the question is to what extent the results of the present approach, namely, the adiabatic-to-diabatic transformation matrix, the curl equation, and first and foremost, the diabatic potentials, are affected if the conditions in Eq. (10) are replaced by more realistic ones This subject will be treated next. 

After transformation into the interaction picture and application of the rotating-wave approximation [46, SO, 54] the population dynamics can be calculated numerically by solving the time-dependent three-level Schrodinger equation or (if phenomenological relaxation rates are considered) by solving the density matrix equation (3) for the molecular system. The density matrix equation is given by... 

The fact that the molecular system can be described within two different frameworks indicates that there must be a relation between them. Such relations are usually formed via a unitary transformation matrix A and since we talk about the adiabatic framework and the diabatic framework it is natural to term it as the ADT. Considering equation (4) we replace by d> where the two are related ... 

We now investigate the relationship between Pr and the original nuclear momenta Pa in more detail. We have introduced a redundant coordinate x in the transformation matrix 911(2.40). We therefore need to define our original (3n + 6) coordinates in terms of the (3 n + 7) final coordinates. To do this, we note that the position of the molecular centre of mass in the (X", Y", Z") coordinate system is... 

Matsen and Franklin 62) have suggested that a transformation to a new coordinate axes should lead to useful results. Since their investigation is the work most closely related to our formulation and solution for mono-molecular systems, we shall discuss in what ways their development falls short of being an adequate treatment and in what ways their development is actually incorrect. In this discussion we shall transform their notation into our notation although the length of the vectors used in the transformation matrix X will not be the same as the one used by us this is not important for the discussion to follow. 

In the case of coherent laser light, the pulses are characterized by well-defined phase relationships and slowly varying amplitudes (Haken, 1970). Such quasi-classical light pulses have spectral and temporal distributions that are also strictly related by a Fourier transformation, and are hence usually refered to as Fourier-transform-limited. They are required in the typical experiments of coherent optical spectroscopy, such as optical nutation, free induction decay, or photon echoes (Brewer, 1977). Here, the theoretical treatments generally adopt a semiclassical procedure, using a density matrix or Bloch formalism to describe the molecular system subject to a pulsed or continuous classical optical field, which generates a macroscopic sample polarization. In principle, a fully quantal description is possible if one represents the state of the field by the coherent or quasi-classical state vectors (Glauber, 1965 Freed and Villaeys, 1978). For our purpose, however. 

The original idea of this procedure dates back to 1974 and is due to Douglas and Kroll [238] who mention it in the appendix of their work on the lowest state of He, which they study with the Bethe-Salpeter equation. More than a decade later the paper by Douglas and Kroll was rediscovered by Hess [624] who at first had to struggle with the huge problem to transform the idea into a method that allows actual calculations on molecular systems. He invoked the idea of producing a basis set that diagonalizes the matrix representation...

T is a standard transformation matrix between two Cartesian crxMdinate systmns [119,132]. Tq defines the variables A6]( and referring to a molecular Cartesian frame in terms of the corresponding angular coordinates which refer to a bond axis system. It has the following structure... 

This description of the ligand field potential is not valid when the chelating molecule has an extended rr-electron system such as, for example, the acetylace-tonate anion or 2,2 -bipyridine. In such cases the frontier molecular orbital of a symmetric chelate can be classified within Qu symmetry as illustrated in Fig. 7 other properties of the chelate bridge will not be considered. The particular MO is either symmetric (x-type) or antisymmetric ( p-type) with respect to the Q-axis. Since combination with metal d-functions can take place only within the same subspace of symmetry, the tetragonally quantized t2y-wavefunctions have to be transformed according to Qw This can easily be achieved by applying the transformation matrix...
