Chem. Phys. 87 7300). The bond polarisabilities provide much information concerning the electronic structure of the non-resonant Raman excited virtual state. At the initial moment by the 514.5 nm excitation, the tendency of the excited electrons (mapped out by the bond polarisabilities) is to spread to the molecular periphery, and the electronic structure of the Raman virtual state is close to the pseudoquinonoidic state. When the final stage of relaxation is approached, the bond polarisabilities of those peripheral bonds relax faster than those closer to the molecular core, the phenyl ring. The molecule is in the benzenoidic form as demonstrated by the bond polarisabilities after relaxation.展开更多

It is found that the intensity of the HHG increases significantly from a certain harmonic order below the ionization threshold, and the initial position of the enhancement does not depend on the intensity or the wavelength of the driving laser field. Further analysis shows that excited states play an important role on this enhancement,consistent with the excited-state tunneling mechanism [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116 123901(2016)]. Our results unambiguously show that excited-state tunneling is essential for understanding the enhancement of HHG. Accordingly, a four-step model is herein proposed to illustrate the multiphoton excitation effect in helium-like ions, which enriches the physics of HHG enhancement.展开更多

However, with the advent of computational chemistry methods such as TD-DFT, many useful insights about the electronic excitation energy and excited-state nature of biomolecules can be explored. Accordingly, in our study, we have incorporated the TD-DFT/wB97XD/cc-pVTZ method to study the excited state properties of N-acetyl phenylalanine amide (NAPA-A(H<sub>2</sub>O) <sub>n</sub>) (n = 1 to 4) clusters from ground to the tenth lowest gaseous singlet excited state. We found that the C=O bond length gradually increases both in N-terminal amide and C-terminal amide after the sequential addition of water molecules because of intermolecular H-bonding and this intermolecular H-bonding becomes weaker after the sequential addition of H<sub>2</sub>O molecules. The UV absorption maxima of NAPA-A (H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>n</sub> (n = 1 - 4) clusters consisted of two peaks that are S<sub>5</sub>←S<sub>0</sub> (1<sup>st</sup> absorption) and S<sub>6</sub>←S<sub>0</sub> (2<sup>nd</sup> absorption) excitations. The first absorption maxima were blue-shifted with the increase in oscillator strength. This means that strong H-bonds reduce the charge transfer and make clusters more rigid. On the other hand, the second absorption maxima were red-shifted with the decrease in oscillator strength. In the ECD spectra, the negative bands indicate the presence of an amide bond and L-configuration of micro hydrated NAPA-A clusters. Finally, our calculated absorption and fluorescence energy confirm that all the NAPA-A (H<sub>2</sub>O) <sub>n</sub> (n = 0 - 4) clusters revert to the ground state from the fluorescent state by emitting around 5.490 eV of light.展开更多

This is due to the integration method within the ordered product of operators (IWOP). The normalization for the two-mode quadrature excitation state is also completed by virtue of the entangled state representation.展开更多

Relativistic and mass-polarization effects on the energy are calculated as the first-order perturbation correction. The quantum-electrodynamics correction is also included. The fine structure splittings are determined from the expectation values of spin-orbit and spin-other-orbit interaction operators in the Pauli-Breit approximation. Combining the term energies of lowly excited states obtained with the quantum defects calculated by the single channel quantum defect theory, each of which is a smooth function of energy and approximated by a weakly varying function of energy, the ion potentials of highly excited states (n ≥ 6) are obtained with the semi-empirical iteration method. The results are compared with experimental data in the literature and found to be closely consistent with the regularity.展开更多

It is known that oxygen-deficient defects are used to explain visible luminescence (especially blue, purple and ultraviolet light) from silicon-based materials, which are directly bound up with the excited states of the molecules. Therefore the excitation properties of the two clusters are also studied. Our results show that the absorption spectrum of Si3O2 is concentrated in the visible light region. In contrast, the absorption spectrum of Si3O3 is mainly located in the ultraviolet light region. The calculations are perfectly consistent with experimental data and also support the theory of oxygen-deficient defects.展开更多

In this paper the difference of the equilibrium geometries obtained by SPES and by OPT is reported. The results obtained by SPES are found to be more reasonable than those obtained by OPT in full active space at the present SAC-CI level of theory. And the conclusion is attained that the cc-PVTZ is a most suitable basis set for these states. The calculated dissociation energies and equilibrium geometries are 0.8818 eV and 0.3090 nm for c^3∑g^+ state, and 0.3668 eV and 0.2932 nm for B^1-Пu state respectively. The potential energy curves are calculated over a wide internuclear distance range from about 2.5α0 to 37α0 and have a least-squares fit into the Murrell-Sorbie function. According to the calculated analytic potential energy functions, the harmonic frequencies (We) and other spectroscopic data (ωeXe, Be and αe) are calculated. Comparison of the theoretical determinations at present work with the experiments and other theories clearly shows that the present work is the most complete effort and thus represents an improvement over previous theoretical results.展开更多

It is found that the first excited state has a significant influence to the ellipticity of the harmonics, and the contribution of higher excited states to the ellipticity can be neglected. Moreover, the conclusion is not dependent on the laser intensity.展开更多

The bound europium spectrum with odd parity in a region of 42400-43500 cm^-1 is measured, from which spectral information on 38 transitions, such as level position and relative intensity, can be deduced. Combined with information about excitation calibration and the error estimation process, the selection rules enable us to determine the possible values of total angular momentum J for the observed states. The autoionization spectra of atomic europium, belonging to the 4f^76pnl(l = 0, 2) configurations, are systematically investigated by using the three-step laser resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS) approach. With the ICE scheme, all the experimental spectra of the autoionizing states have nearly symmetric profiles whose peak positions and widths can be easily obtained. A comparison between our results and those from the relevant literature shows that our work not only confirms many reported states, but also discovers 14 bound states and 16 autoionizing states.展开更多

The ground-state geometry optimizations were calculated by density functional theory (DFT) method, while the electronic transition energies and corresponding oscillation strengths of the low-lying electronically excited states of isolated NMF, water monomers and the hydrogen-bonded NMF-H 2 O were calculated by TDDFT method. According to Zhao's rule on the excited-state hydrogen bonding dynamics, our results demonstrate that the intermolecular hydrogen bond C=O···O-H is strengthened and weakened in different electronically excited states. The hydrogen bond strengthening and weakening in the electronically excited state plays an important role in the photophysics of NMF in solutions.展开更多

Excited states of the same symmetry, in order to avoid the inherent restrictions of the standard method of Hylleraas--Unheim and MacDonald, are computed variationally by minimizing the recently developed minimization functionals for excited states. By computing, at the minimum, the one-electron density and the probability distribution of the two-electron angle, and the most probable two-electron angle, we investigate the atomic states of the carbon atom. We show that, without resorting to the (admittedly unproven) concept of hybridization, as an intrinsic property of the atomic wave function, the most probable value of the two-electron angle is around the known angles of carbon bonding, i.e. either 109^/circ or 120^/circ or 180^/circ, depending on each low-lying state of the bare carbon atom.展开更多

文摘The structure of the Si3Ox (x =2, 3) cluster is investigated; we find that the geometry of Si3O2 is similar to that of Si3O3 except for the oxygen-deficient defect structure (Si-Si band) which exists only in the Si3O2 cluster. It is known that oxygen-deficient defects are used to explain visible luminescence (especially blue, purple and ultraviolet light) from silicon-based materials, which are directly bound up with the excited states of the molecules. Therefore the excitation properties of the two clusters are also studied. Our results show that the absorption spectrum of Si3O2 is concentrated in the visible light region. In contrast, the absorption spectrum of Si3O3 is mainly located in the ultraviolet light region. The calculations are perfectly consistent with experimental data and also support the theory of oxygen-deficient defects.

文摘The comparison between single-point energy scanning (SPES) and geometry optimization (OPT) in determining the equilibrium geometries of c^3∑g^+ and B^1-Пu states of dimer 7Li2 is made at numerous basis sets by using a symmetryadapted-cluster configuration-interaztion (SAC-CI) method in the Gaussian 03 program package. In this paper the difference of the equilibrium geometries obtained by SPES and by OPT is reported. The results obtained by SPES are found to be more reasonable than those obtained by OPT in full active space at the present SAC-CI level of theory. And the conclusion is attained that the cc-PVTZ is a most suitable basis set for these states. The calculated dissociation energies and equilibrium geometries are 0.8818 eV and 0.3090 nm for c^3∑g^+ state, and 0.3668 eV and 0.2932 nm for B^1-Пu state respectively. The potential energy curves are calculated over a wide internuclear distance range from about 2.5α0 to 37α0 and have a least-squares fit into the Murrell-Sorbie function. According to the calculated analytic potential energy functions, the harmonic frequencies (We) and other spectroscopic data (ωeXe, Be and αe) are calculated. Comparison of the theoretical determinations at present work with the experiments and other theories clearly shows that the present work is the most complete effort and thus represents an improvement over previous theoretical results.

文摘We theoretically investigate the contribution of the excited state to the ellipticity of the harmonics from H+ at different orientation angles irradiated by a linearly polarized laser pulse. It is found that the first excited state has a significant influence to the ellipticity of the harmonics, and the contribution of higher excited states to the ellipticity can be neglected. Moreover, the conclusion is not dependent on the laser intensity.

文摘An isolated-core-excitation (ICE) scheme and stepwise excitation are employed to study the highly excited states of the europium atom. The bound europium spectrum with odd parity in a region of 42400-43500 cm^-1 is measured, from which spectral information on 38 transitions, such as level position and relative intensity, can be deduced. Combined with information about excitation calibration and the error estimation process, the selection rules enable us to determine the possible values of total angular momentum J for the observed states. The autoionization spectra of atomic europium, belonging to the 4f^76pnl(l = 0, 2) configurations, are systematically investigated by using the three-step laser resonance ionization spectroscopy (RIS) approach. With the ICE scheme, all the experimental spectra of the autoionizing states have nearly symmetric profiles whose peak positions and widths can be easily obtained. A comparison between our results and those from the relevant literature shows that our work not only confirms many reported states, but also discovers 14 bound states and 16 autoionizing states.

文摘In this study,we systematically investigated the two-proton(2p)radioactivity half-lives from the excited state of nuclei near the proton drip line within the Gamowlike model(GLM)and modified Gamow-like model(MGLM).The calculated results were highly consistent with the theoretical values obtained using the unified fission model[Chin.Phys.C 45,124105(2021)],effective liquid drop model,and generalized liquid drop model[Acta Phys.Sin 71,062301(2022)].Furthermore,utilizing the GLM and MGLM,we predicted the 2p radioactivity halflives from the excited state for some nuclei that are not yet available experimentally.Simultaneously,by analyzing the calculated results from these theoretical models,it was found that the half-lives are strongly dependent on Qand l.

文摘Dynamic nonlinearities of C70/toluene solution are measured and analysed by an improved picosecond timeresolved pump-probe system based on a nonlinear imaging technique with phase object. The photophysical parameters are determined by the five-level model, which is adopted to interpret the experimental data. The change of refraction index per unit density of the excited state obtained by a numerically simulation is a critical factor to determine the nonlinear behaviour of C70 in picosecond time regime.

文摘Excited-state hydrogen-bonding dynamics of N-methylformamide (NMF) in water has been investigated by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method. The ground-state geometry optimizations were calculated by density functional theory (DFT) method, while the electronic transition energies and corresponding oscillation strengths of the low-lying electronically excited states of isolated NMF, water monomers and the hydrogen-bonded NMF-H 2 O were calculated by TDDFT method. According to Zhao's rule on the excited-state hydrogen bonding dynamics, our results demonstrate that the intermolecular hydrogen bond C=O···O-H is strengthened and weakened in different electronically excited states. The hydrogen bond strengthening and weakening in the electronically excited state plays an important role in the photophysics of NMF in solutions.

文摘The spin crossover(SCO) compound [Fe(bapbpy)(NCS)2],where bapbpy contains two fused N,N-bis(2-pyridyl)amines,has been studied by DFT/TD-DFT/BS-DFT methods.Several density functionals and basis sets were used in the calculation to obtain optimized geometries of the compound in the low-(LS) and high-spin(HS) states.The vibrational modes and IR spectra,spin splitting energies,excited states and UV/Vis absorption spectra were obtained.The structural parameters of the calculated isolated complex are in good agreement with the X-ray data.We investigate three dimers of [Fe(bapbpy)(NCS)2] complex for their magnetic properties.It has been found that the complex(1,3) has ferromagnetic character while the others are antiferromagnetic in nature by using a broken symmetry approach in the DFT framework(BS-DFT) with support from the coupling constant values(J) and spin density plots.

文摘With hydrogen-like impurity(HLI) located in the center of Cs I quantum pseudodot(QPD) and by using the variational method of Pekar type(VMPT), we investigate the first-excited state energy(FESE), excitation energy and transition frequency of the strongly-coupled bound polaron in the present paper. Temperature effects on bound polaron properties are calculated by employing the quantum statistical theory(QST). According to the present work's numerical results, the FESE, excitation energy and transition frequency decay(amplify) with raising temperature in the regime of lower(higher)temperature. They are decreasing functions of Coulomb impurity potential strength.

文摘We have developed a computer code for {/em ab initio} the variational configuration interaction calculation of the electronic structure of atoms via variationally optimized Lagurre type orbitals, treating the orbital effective charges as variational parameters. Excited states of the same symmetry, in order to avoid the inherent restrictions of the standard method of Hylleraas--Unheim and MacDonald, are computed variationally by minimizing the recently developed minimization functionals for excited states. By computing, at the minimum, the one-electron density and the probability distribution of the two-electron angle, and the most probable two-electron angle, we investigate the atomic states of the carbon atom. We show that, without resorting to the (admittedly unproven) concept of hybridization, as an intrinsic property of the atomic wave function, the most probable value of the two-electron angle is around the known angles of carbon bonding, i.e. either 109^/circ or 120^/circ or 180^/circ, depending on each low-lying state of the bare carbon atom.
