The diagonal Born±Oppenheimer correction to molecular dynamical properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the eect of the diagonal Born±Oppenheimer correction on dynamics in two simple systems ± the Hooke's atom in an external harmonic potential and the collinear hydrogen exchange reaction. The transmission probability for the Hooke's atom, calculated within the Born±Oppenheimer approximation, is simply shifted in energy with respect to the exact result, and this is corrected by the diagonal adiabatic contribution. The reaction probability for the H3 system re ̄ects the fact, that the diagonal Born±Oppenheimer correction raises the barrier to the reaction by approximately 70 cmÿ1. Ó 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

The 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 کاملNon-adiabatic effects in thermochemistry, spectroscopy and kinetics: the general importance of all three Born-Oppenheimer breakdown corrections.
Using a simple model Hamiltonian, the three correction terms for Born-Oppenheimer (BO) breakdown, the adiabatic diagonal correction (DC), the first-derivative momentum non-adiabatic correction (FD), and the second-derivative kinetic-energy non-adiabatic correction (SD), are shown to all contribute to thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties as well as to thermal non-diabatic chemical reaction...
متن کاملOn The Born - Oppenheimer Approach In A Closed Dynamical System
The various recent studies on the application of the Born-Oppenheimer approach in a closed gravity matter system is examined. It is pointed out that the Born-Oppenheimer approach in the absence of an a priori time is likely to yield potentially new results.
متن کاملNon-Born-Oppenheimer correction to the H3+ potential from experimental data.
The spectrum of D3+ is analyzed using a spectroscopically determined effective H3+ potential [B. M. Dinelli, S. Miller, and J. Tennyson, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 1BS, 71 (1994)] and an accurate ab initio potential [G. C. Lie and D. Frye, J. Chem. Phys. 9B, 6784 (1992)]. Calculations suggest that the major error in the potential of Lie and Frye is due to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. D3+ spectro...
متن کاملSemiclassical theory of molecular nonlinear optical polarization
The calculation of linear and nonlinear optical response as well as nonadiabatic curve crossing processes depends on the time evolution of the electronic coherences ~off-diagonal elements of the density matrix!. Unlike their diagonal counterparts, the off-diagonal elements do not have an obvious classical limit. A semiclassical approximation for the nonlinear optical response function, which re...
