Perturbation, time-dependent

The selection niles are derived tlnough time-dependent perturbation theory [1, 2]. Two points will be made in the following material. First, the Bolu frequency condition states that the photon energy of absorption or emission is equal... 

Many experimental techniques now provide details of dynamical events on short timescales. Time-dependent theory, such as END, offer the capabilities to obtain information about the details of the transition from initial-to-final states in reactive processes. The assumptions of time-dependent perturbation theory coupled with Fermi s Golden Rule, namely, that there are well-defined (unperturbed) initial and final states and that these are occupied for times, which are long compared to the transition time, no longer necessarily apply. Therefore, truly dynamical methods become very appealing and the results from such theoretical methods can be shown as movies or time lapse photography. 

The Time Dependent Processes Seetion uses time-dependent perturbation theory, eombined with the elassieal eleetrie and magnetie fields that arise due to the interaetion of photons with the nuelei and eleetrons of a moleeule, to derive expressions for the rates of transitions among atomie or moleeular eleetronie, vibrational, and rotational states indueed by photon absorption or emission. Sourees of line broadening and time eorrelation funetion treatments of absorption lineshapes are briefly introdueed. Finally, transitions indueed by eollisions rather than by eleetromagnetie fields are briefly treated to provide an introduetion to the subjeet of theoretieal ehemieal dynamies. 

The interaction of a molecular species with electromagnetic fields can cause transitions to occur among the available molecular energy levels (electronic, vibrational, rotational, and nuclear spin). Collisions among molecular species likewise can cause transitions to occur. Time-dependent perturbation theory and the methods of molecular dynamics can be employed to treat such transitions. 

The mathematical machinery needed to compute the rates of transitions among molecular states induced by such a time-dependent perturbation is contained in time-dependent perturbation theory (TDPT). The development of this theory proceeds as follows. One first assumes that one has in-hand all of the eigenfunctions k and eigenvalues Ek that characterize the Hamiltonian H of the molecule in the absence of the external perturbation ...

The time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory was first discussed by Dirac (1930b) and subsequently in perturbative form by Dalgamo and Victor (1966). Its relationship to time-dependent perturbation theory has been discussed by Langhoff, Epstein and Karplus (1972). 

The statistical matrix is then computed via Eq. (7-78). When the expectation value of the energy, Tr (pH), is then calculated in different orders of V, the successive orders of time-dependent perturbation theory emerge. 

The perturbation theory presented in Chapter 2 implies that orientational relaxation is slower than rotational relaxation and considers the angular displacement during a free rotation to be a small parameter. Considering J(t) as a random time-dependent perturbation, it describes the orientational relaxation as a molecular response to it. Frequent and small chaotic turns constitute the rotational diffusion which is shown to be an equivalent representation of the process. The turns may proceed via free paths or via sudden jumps from one orientation to another. The phenomenological picture of rotational diffusion is compatible with both... 

Its poles are determined to any order of by expansion of M. However, even in the lowest order in the inverse Laplace transformation, which restores the time kinetics of Kemni, keeps all powers to Jf (t/xj. This is why the theory expounded in the preceding section described the long-time kinetics of the process, while the conventional time-dependent perturbation theory of Dirac [121] holds only in a short time interval after interaction has been switched on. By keeping terms of higher order in i, we describe the whole time evolution to a better accuracy.
