  4. Given initial preparation in |D>, for a symmetric system: PD(t) = 1 – PA(t) = cos2(t) = t  2

  6. Analysis in the case of time-dependent E(t) = Eocosot Consider first the symmetric case:  0 1 0 d cA - cA i Eocosot = dt cD cD 0 -1  0 Permanent dipole moment difference Letting: cA(t) = e ia sinot cAI(t);cD(t) = e ia sinot cDI(t) Eo Eo ] [ sinot t Where: a = N.B.:0Eocosot'dt' = o (ħ)o Thus, Interaction Picture S.E. reads: 0 cAI e-2ia sinot  cAI d i = dt cDI cDI e2ia sinot  0

  7. e ib sint =  Jm(b) e imt Now note: m=-   e2ia sinot =   Jm(2a) e imot So: m=-  ·Jo(2a) , for /o << 1 RWA Thus, the shuttle frequency is renormalized to |Jo(2a)|   ] [ <<1  0 NB: Trapping or localization occurs at certain Eo values! 0 2.5 5.5 a [Grossman - Hänggi, Dakhnovskii – Metiu]

  11. A few features of classical Nonadiabatic ET Theory [Marcus, Levich-Doganadze…] ˆ T+V1(x)  ˆ Hamiltonian = H ˆ  T+V2(x) (diabatic) nuclear coord. potential for electronic state 2 non-adiabatic coupling matrix element kinetic E of nuclear coordinates 1(x,t) States |(t)> = 2(x,t)

  12. Given initial preparation in electronic state 1 (and assuming nuclear coordinates are equilibrated on V1(x)) 1 2 1(x,0) Then, P2(t) = fraction of molecules in electronic state 2 = < 2(x,t)| 2(x,t)>  k12t x where k12 = (Golden Rule) rate constant

  13. In classical Marcus (Levich-Doganadze) theory, k12 is determined by 3 molecular parameters: , Er,  ( ) ½  -(Er- )2/4Er kBT k12 =2 e ErkT w/ Er = “Reorganization Energy” ;  = “Reaction Heat” 1 2  Er x ( ) ½  -(Er+ )2/4Er kBT k21 = 2 For the “backwards” Reaction: e ErkT

  14. To obtain electronic state populations at arbitrary times, solve kinetic [“Master”] Eqns.: dP1(t)/dt = - k12P1(t) + k21P2(t) dP2(t)/dt = k12P1(t) - k21P2(t) Note that long-time asymptotic [“Equilibrium”] distributions are then given by: P2() k12 /kBT Keq = = = e P1() k21 for Marcus formula rate constants N.B. Marcus theory for nonadiabatic ET reactions works experimentally. See:Closs & Miller, Science 240, 440 (1988)
