We are investigating the molecular dynamics of the butatriene cation after excitation from the ground state (X2B2g) to the first excited electronic state (A2B2u) by using the time-dependent discrete variable representation (TDDVR) method. The investigation is being carried out with a realistic 18-mode model Hamiltonian consisting of all the vibrational degrees of freedom of the butatriene molecule. First, we perform the simulation on a basic five mode model, and then by including additional thirteen modes as bath on the basic model. This sequential inclusion of bath modes demonstrates the effect of so called weak modes on the subsystem, where the calculations of energy and population transfer from the basic model to the bath quantify the same effect. The spectral profile obtained by using the TDDVR approach shows reasonably good agreement with the results calculated by the quantum mechanical approach/experimental measurement. It appears that the TDDVR approach for those large systems where quantum mechanical description is needed in a restricted region, is a good compromise between accuracy and speed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
