Non-adiabatic coupling elements

As shown in Eq. (92), the gauge field aJ is simply related to the non-adiabatic coupling elements For an infinite set of electtonic adiabatic states [A = 00 in Eq. (90)], Ftc = 0. This important results seems to have been first established... 

The electronic wave function has now been removed from the first two terms while the curly bracket contains tenns which couple different electronic states. The first two of these are the first- and second-order non-adiabatic coupling elements, respectively, vhile the last is the mass polarization. The non-adiabatic coupling elements are important for systems involving more than one electronic surface, such as photochemical reactions. 

In the adiabatic approximation the form of the total wave function is restricted to one electronic surface, i.e. all coupling elements in eq. (3.12) are neglected (only the terms with i = i survive). Except for spatially degenerate wave functions, the diagonal first-order non-adiabatic coupling element is zero.
