Finite-Temperature, Anharmonicity, and Duschinsky Effects on the Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectra from Ab Initio Thermo-Field Gaussian Wavepacket Dynamics

Accurate description of finite-temperature vibrational dynamics is indispensable in the computation of two-dimensional electronic spectra. Such simulations are often based on the density matrix evolution, statistical averaging of initial vibrational states ...

Ab initio semiclassical evaluation of vibrationally resolved electronic spectra with thawed Gaussians

Jiri Vanicek, Tomislav Begusic

Vibrationally resolved electronic spectra of polyatomic molecules provide valuable information about the quantum properties of both electrons and nuclei. This chapter reviews the recent progress in ab initio semiclassical calculations of such spectra, base ...

On-the-Fly ab initio Semiclassical Evaluation of Electronic Coherences in Polyatomic Molecules Reveals a Simple Mechanism of Decoherence

Jiri Vanicek, Tomislav Begusic, Nikolay Golubev

Irradiation of a molecular system by an intense laser field can trigger dynamics of both electronic and nuclear subsystems. The lighter electrons usually move on much faster, attosecond timescale but the slow nuclear rearrangement damps ultrafast electroni ...

Semiclassical Approach to Photophysics Beyond Kasha’s Rule and Vibronic Spectroscopy Beyond the Condon Approximation. The Case of Azulene

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Jiri Vanicek, Zhan Tong Zhang, Antonio Prlj, Tomas Zimmermann, Tomislav Begusic, George Cameron Fish, Seonghoon Choi, Marius Wehrle, Julien Roulet

Azulene is a prototypical molecule with ananomalousfluorescence from the second excited electronic state,thus violating Kasha’s rule, and with an emission spectrum thatcannot be understood within the Condon approximation. To betterunderstand the photophysi ...

On-the-fly ab initio semiclassical evaluation of vibronic spectra at finite temperature

Jiri Vanicek, Tomislav Begusic

To compute and analyze vibrationally resolved electronic spectra at zero temperature, we have recently implemented the on-the-fly ab initio extended thawed Gaussian approximation [A. Patoz et al., J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 9, 2367 (2018)], which accounts for an ...

On-the-fly ab initio semiclassical evaluation of third-order response functions for two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy

Jiri Vanicek, Tomislav Begusic

Ab initio computation of two-dimensional electronic spectra is an expanding field, whose goal is improving upon simple, few-dimensional models often employed to explain experiments. Here, we propose an accurate and computationally affordable approach, base ...

Which form of the molecular Hamiltonian is the most suitable for simulating the nonadiabatic quantum dynamics at a conical intersection?

Jiri Vanicek, Seonghoon Choi

Choosing an appropriate representation of the molecular Hamiltonian is one of the challenges faced by simulations of the nonadiabatic quantum dynamics around a conical intersection. The adiabatic, exact quasidiabatic, and strictly diabatic representations ...

Semiclassical analysis of the quantum instanton approximation

Jiri Vanicek, Christophe Louis Joseph Jean-Luc Vaillant

We explore the relation between the quantum and semiclassical instanton approximations for the reaction rate constant. From the quantum instanton expression, we analyze the contributions to the rate constant in terms of minimum-action paths and find that t ...

A combined on-the-fly/interpolation procedure for evaluating energy values needed in molecular simulations

Jiri Vanicek, Konstantin Karandashev

We propose an algorithm for molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations that uses an interpolation procedure to estimate potential energy values from energies and gradients evaluated previously at points of a simplicial mesh. We chose an interpolation pr ...
