Chemical reaction dynamics beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
To predict the branching between energetically allowed product channels, chemists often rely on statistical transition state theories or exact quantum scattering calculations on a single adiabatic potential energy surface. The potential energy surface gives the energetic barriers to each chemical reaction and allows prediction of the reaction rates. Yet, chemical reactions evolve on a single po...
متن کاملChemical reaction dynamics when the Born – Oppenheimer approximation fails
Whether a reaction is occurring in the gas phase or condensed phase, electronically nonadiabatic e†ects can become important if the adiabatic reaction coordinate requires a considerable change in the electronic wavefunction. The experiments and analysis presented here seek to make progress on a difficult and important problem, that of developing a back-ofthe-envelope method to predict which ene...
متن کاملThe Born-Oppenheimer Approximation
where R is the set of nuclear coordinates and r is the set of electronic coordinates. If spin-orbit effects are important, they can be added through a spin-orbit operator Ĥso. Unfortunately, the V̂eN(r,R) term prevents us from separating Ĥ into nuclear and electronic parts, which would allow us to write the molecular wavefunction as a product of nuclear and electronic terms, Ψ(r,R) = Ψ(r)χ(R). W...
متن کاملThe diagonal Born–Oppenheimer correction beyond the Hartree–Fock approximation
We report on evaluation of the diagonal Born–Oppenheimer correction ~DBOC! to the electronic energy with Hartree–Fock ~HF! and conventional correlated wave functions for general molecular systems. Convergence of both HF and configuration interaction ~CI! DBOC with the one-particle basis seems to be rather fast, with triple-z quality correlation consistent sets of Dunning et al. sufficiently com...
متن کاملBeyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation with quantum Monte Carlo
In this work we develop tools that enable the study of non-adiabatic effects with variational and diffusion Monte Carlo methods. We introduce a highly accurate wave function ansatz for electronion systems that can involve a combination of both fixed and quantum ions. We explicitly calculate the ground state energies of H2, LiH, H2O and FHF − using fixed-node quantum Monte Carlo with wave functi...
