How to Find Molecules with Long-lasting Charge Migration?

Jiri Vanicek, Nikolay Golubev, Alan Scheidegger

Under certain conditions, the ionization of a molecule may create a superposition of electronic states, leading to ultrafast electron dynamics. If controlled, this motion could be used in attochemistry applications, but it has been shown that the decoheren ...

Efficient Semiclassical Evaluation of Electronic Coherences in Polyatomic Molecules

Jiri Vanicek, Nikolay Golubev

Exposing a molecule to an intense light pulse can create a nonstationary quantum state, thus launching correlated dynamics of electrons and nuclei. Although much had been achieved in the understanding of fundamental physics behind the electron-nuclear inte ...

Search for long-lasting electronic coherence using on-the-fly ab initio semiclassical dynamics

Jiri Vanicek, Nikolay Golubev, Alan Scheidegger

Using a combination of high-level ab initio electronic structure methods with efficient on-the-fly semiclassical evaluation of nuclear dynamics, we performed a massive scan of small polyatomic molecules searching for a long-lasting oscillatory dynamics of ...

Decoherence and Revival of Attosecond Charge Migration Driven by Non-adiabatic Dynamics

Nikolay Golubev

The attosecond quantum beat of an electronic state superposition was captured in SiH4 using soft-X-Ray attosecond transient-absorption spectroscopy. Its decoher-ence and revival, induced by non-adiabatic vibrational dynamics, were reproduced using MCTDH ca ...

Core-Valence Attosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy of Polyatomic Molecules

Jiri Vanicek, Nikolay Golubev

Tracing ultrafast processes induced by interaction of light with matter is often very challenging. In molecular systems, the initially created electronic coherence becomes damped by the slow nuclear rearrangement on a femtosecond timescale which makes real ...

On-the-Fly ab initio Semiclassical Evaluation of Electronic Coherences in Polyatomic Molecules Reveals a Simple Mechanism of Decoherence

Jiri Vanicek, Nikolay Golubev, Tomislav Begusic

Irradiation of a molecular system by an intense laser field can trigger dynamics of both electronic and nuclear subsystems. The lighter electrons usually move on much faster, attosecond timescale but the slow nuclear rearrangement damps ultrafast electroni ...

How Important is Self-Consistency for the dDsC Density Dependent Dispersion Correction?

Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Eric Albert Georges Bremond, Nikolay Golubev

The treatment of dispersion interactions is ubiquitous but computationally demanding for seamless ab initio approaches. A highly popular and simple remedy consists in correcting for the missing interactions a posteriori by adding an attractive energy term ...
