Quantitative molecular thermochemistry based on path integrals.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The calculation of thermochemical data requires accurate molecular energies and heat capacities. Traditional methods rely upon the standard harmonic normal-mode analysis to calculate the vibrational and rotational contributions. We utilize path-integral Monte Carlo for going beyond the harmonic analysis and to calculate the vibrational and rotational contributions to ab initio energies. This is an application and an extension of a method previously developed in our group [J. Chem. Phys. 118, 1596 (2003)].

A History of Feynman’s Sum over Histories in Quantum Mechanics
Exact calculations of Feynman’s path integrals (defined on a time lattice) are mainly based on recurrence integral formulas in which the convolution of two functions having a common feature retains the same feature. Therefore, exactly soluble path integrals in quantum mechanics may be classified by their recurrence integral formula used in the calculation. According to this classification, ther...
متن کاملGeometric Path Integrals. A Language for Multiscale Biology and Systems Robustness
In this paper we suggest that, under suitable conditions, supervised learning can provide the basis to formulate at the microscopic level quantitative questions on the phenotype structure of multicellular organisms. The problem of explaining the robustness of the phenotype structure is rephrased as a real geometrical problem on a fixed domain. We further suggest a generalization of path integra...
متن کاملThermochemistry of Aluminum Species for Combustion Modeling from Ab Initio Molecular Orbital Calculations
High accuracy ab initio methods for computational thermochemistry have been applied to aluminum compounds expected to be present during combustion of aluminum particles. The computed enthalpies of formation at 298.15 K agree well with experimental values from the literature for AlCl, AlCl3, AlO, AlOAl, linear OAlO, planar Al2O2, AlOH, AlH, and AlN. The agreement is fair for AlCl2. Major revisio...
متن کاملGreedy decomposition integrals
In this contribution we define a new class of non-linear integrals based on decomposition integrals. These integrals are motivated by greediness of many real-life situations. Another view on this new class of integrals is that it is a generalization of both the Shilkret and PAN integrals. Moreover, it can be seen as an iterated Shilkret integral. Also, an example in time-series analysis is prov...

We develop the formulation of the spin(SU(2)) coherent state path integrals based on arbitrary fiducial vectors. The resultant action in the path integral expression extensively depends on the vector; It differs from the conventional one in that it has a generalized form having some additional terms. We also study, as physical applications, the geometric phases associated with the coherent stat...
