Vibrational relaxation in the condensed phase.
A modified Landau-Teller equation for vibrational relaxation in the condensed phase is proposed. This equation differs from previous approaches by accounting for the fluctuations of the energies of the vibrational levels that result from the interactions with the surroundings (bath). In the conventional approach the effects of the bath are only included in the coupling between the relaxing and ...
متن کاملClassical Approximation to Nonradiative Electronic Relaxation in Condensed Phase Systems
We present a study of the classical limit of nonradiative electronic relaxation in condensed phase systems. The discrete Hamiltonian representing an impurity in a condensed phase environment is mapped onto a continuous form using the Meyer-Miller approach. The classical electronic relaxation rate is obtained within the framework of the reactive flux formalism and is compared to the fully quantu...
متن کاملVibrational energy relaxation in proteins.
An overview of theories related to vibrational energy relaxation (VER) in proteins is presented. VER of a selected mode in cytochrome c is studied by using two theoretical approaches. One approach is the equilibrium simulation approach with quantum correction factors, and the other is the reduced model approach, which describes the protein as an ensemble of normal modes interacting through nonl...
متن کاملQuantum corrections in vibrational and electronic condensed phase spectroscopy: line shapes and echoes.
Various linear and nonlinear vibrational and electronic spectroscopy experiments in liquids are usually analyzed within the second-cumulant approximation, and therefore the fundamental quantity of interest is the equilibrium time-correlation function of the fluctuating transition frequency. In the usual approach the "bath" variables responsible for the fluctuating frequency are treated classica...
متن کاملRelaxation and Spectra in Condensed Phases
In this thesis, various problems in the quantum theory of relaxation are considered. We first discuss the dynamics of low temperature tunneling in condensed phases. With the aid of a varational unitary transformation, we are able to study the limits of both weak and strong coupling of the tunneling system to the environment. Next we discuss the physical implications of the standard Redfield equ...
