چکیده
The purpose of this paper has been to develop a systematic approach for classifying and distinguishing the relative orders of approximation of various types of couplings like the vibronic (Herzberg-Teller) couplings and Born-Oppenheimer couplings, and for studying the importance of the anharmonicity in the quantitative calculation of the spectral intensity and electronic relaxation. It will be shown that the perturbation parameter introduced by Born and Oppenheimer in separating the electronic and nuclear motion involved in the molecular Schrödinger equation, lambda = (m/M)(1/4), can be used for this purpose by expanding wavefunctions and energies in power series of lambda.

Nonadiabatic and Time-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy for Molecular Systems.
We quantify the nonadiabatic contributions to the vibronic sidebands of equilibrium and explicitly time-resolved nonequilibrium photoelectron spectra for a vibronic model system of trans-polyacetylene. Using exact diagonalization, we directly evaluate the sum-over-states expressions for the linear-response photocurrent. We show that spurious peaks appear in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation fo...
متن کاملIntersystem crossing driven by vibronic spin-orbit coupling: a case study on psoralen.
For 7H-furo[3,2-g][1]benzopyran-7-one (psoralen), intersystem crossing (ISC) rate constants have been computed. Employing the Fermi golden rule, the harmonic approximation, and a pure-spin Born-Oppenheimer basis, both direct and vibronic spin-orbit (SO) coupling has been taken into account. Necessary data on electronic excitation energies and potential energy hypersurfaces originate from correl...
متن کاملIs the breakdown of the born-oppenheimer approximation responsible for internal conversion in large molecules?
Vibronic radiationless transitions in large polyatomic molecules can be thought of as a process whereby the molecule, initially prepared in a discrete quasistationary state, makes a transition to an adjoining vibronic continuum belonging to a lower electronic state of the same multiplicity. In many instances the transition is analogous to penetration through a barrier between two "nested" poten...
متن کاملThe Importance of Vibronic Coupling for Efficient Reverse Intersystem Crossing in Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Molecules
Factors influencing the rate of reverse intersystem crossing (krISC ) in thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters are critical for improving the efficiency and performance of third-generation heavy-metal-free organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, present understanding of the TADF mechanism does not extend far beyond a thermal equilibrium between the lowest singlet and ...
متن کاملA correlated-polaron electronic propagator: open electronic dynamics beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
In this work, we develop an approach to treat correlated many-electron dynamics, dressed by the presence of a finite-temperature harmonic bath. Our theory combines a small polaron transformation with the second-order time-convolutionless master equation and includes both electronic and system-bath correlations on equal footing. Our theory is based on the ab initio Hamiltonian, and is thus well-...
