  2. OUTLINE • Background • Formal analysis of a surface hopping expansion • Improved efficiency, reduced statistical error • 4. Forbidden transitions

  3. Types of Problems of Interest • Photodissociation • Collisions involving change in electronic state • Nonadiabatic transitions in liquid phase

  7. Comparison of adiabatic and diabatic potentials R

  8. Can cancel nonadiabatic terms in the Schrodinger equation by adding trajectories that hop between states. Single hop terms:

  9. An (inelegant) Analysis of a Semiclassical Surface Hopping Expansion for the Multi-Surface Wave Function (or Propagator). Surface hopping: Trajectories can abruptly hop from one Vk( R) to another, where Vk( R) is the BO energy for electronic state φk. Restrict analysis here to 1-dim, 2 state case for simplicity. Same analysis has been performed for general case with any number of states and any number of degrees of freedom. Conclusion: The surface hopping expansion formally satisfies the Schrodinger equation. Because of singularities in semiclassical prefactor, generally not convergent at all points.

  10. ηij = < φi | 𝜵Rφj >r = nonadiabatic coupling vector < f | g >r = ∫ f * g dr < φi | φj >r = 𝜹ij 𝜵R< φi | φj >r = < 𝜵R φi | φj >r + < φi | 𝜵R φj >r = ηji + ηij = 0 Assume the φi are real. Then, ηji = - ηij and ηii = 0.

  11. In numerical calculations: Ignore momentum changes without hop. Use only T-type hops in allowed regions.

  14. CONCLUSIONS • Surface Hopping Expansion Formally Satisfies SE. In General Not Convergent at All Points. • The Surface Hopping Semiclassical IVR Methods are Capable of Providing Very Accurate Results for Many Surface Nonadiabatic Problems • Recent Advances Show That It is Possible To Significantly Reduce The Statistical Errors in Monte Carlo Surface Hopping IVR Methods

  15. Adventures in the Forbidden Zone • Surface hopping expansion “formally exact” in classically forbidden region. • Wave function fails at turning points and caustics • Transition amplitudes have turning point singularities

  17. For transitions in forbidden zone Wave function on upper surface (Ψu) decays rapidly when moving into the forbidden zone from turning point. Nonadiabatic coupling (η) sharply peaked around crossing point and is decaying when moving from crossing point toward turning point. Product of Ψu and η is peaked in forbidden zone near turning point. Suggests approximation based on behavior near turning point may yield good results.

  18. For details see: M. F. Herman, J. Phys. Chem. B 112, 15966 (2008). and P.-T. Dang and M. F. Herman, J. Chem. Phys., accepted for publication. Probability of quantum state change in model collision system for forbidden transitions. . . . . exact quantum results, _____ semiclassical results, ----- results using “simple” approximation to semiclassical calculation.

  19. Why is this approximation for for-bidden transitions exciting (to me)? • Curve crossing models use information from crossing point (where trajectory does not go). • Local model (just uses information at turning point). • Momentum change due to hop occurs in direction of nonadiabatic coupling vector, so hop is basically one dimensional in many dimensions. • Since model is local and hop is one dimensional, should be possible to use model (or a generalization of it) for many dimensional problems.

  20. Conclusions • Surface Hopping Expansion provides very good transition probabilities even for strongly forbidden transitions. • Cancellation between contributions from allowed and forbidden regions must be accurately accounted for. • Good approximation obtained using only information evaluated at turning point.

  22. NumericalProblems • Different trajectories have different phases • Leadsto interference • Add many terms, get result that is smaller than individual terms • When integrations done by Monte Carlo, large relative statistical errors • Need ways to reduce cancellation due to interference

  23. Higher order (in size of hopping step) transition amplitudes for trajectory step • - Accounts for multiple hops in a single hopping step • - Accounts for phase difference between hopping trajectories • - Allows for use of much larger hopping steps • - Fewer hops along each trajectory • - Much of the phase cancellation is accounted for within hopping step
