Modeling Spin-Dependent Nonadiabatic Dynamics with Electronic Degeneracy: A Phase-Space Surface-Hopping Method
The journal of physical chemistry letters(2022)
摘要
Nuclear Berry curvature effects emerge from electronic spin degeneracy and can lead to nontrivial spin-dependent (nonadiabatic) nuclear dynamics. However, such effects are not captured fully by any current mixed quantum-classical method such as fewest-switches surface hopping. In this work, we present a phase-space surface-hopping (PSSH) approach to simulate singlet-triplet intersystem crossing dynamics. We show that with a simple pseudodiabatic ansatz, a PSSH algorithm can capture the relevant Berry curvature effects and make predictions in agreement with exact quantum dynamics for a simple singlet-triplet model Hamiltonian. Thus, this approach represents an important step toward simulating photochemical and spin processes concomitantly, as relevant to intersystem crossing and spin-lattice relaxation dynamics.
