Cox ( Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM USA, Center for Computational Sciences & Computer Science and Mathematics Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA, Departmen | Abstract: | We present a model intended for rapid sampling of ground and excited state potential energy surfaces for first-row transition metal active sites. The method is computationally inexpensive and is suited for dynamics simulations where (1) adiabatic states are required "on-the-fly" and (2) the primary source of the electronic coupling between the diabatic states is the perturbative spin-orbit interaction among the 3d electrons. The model Hamiltonian we develop is a variant of the Anderson impurity model and achieves efficiency through a physically motivated basis set reduction based on the large value of the d-d Coulomb interaction U_{d} and a Lanczos matrix diagonalization routine to solve for eigenvalues. The model parameters are constrained by fits to the partial density of states (PDOS) obtained from ab initio density functional theory calculations. For a particular application of our model we focus on electron-transfer occuring between cobalt ions solvated by ammonium, incorporating configuration interaction between multiplet states for both metal ions. We demonstrate the capability of the method to efficiently calculate adiabatic potential energy surfaces and the electronic coupling factor we have calculated compares well to previous calculations and experiment. | Source: | arXiv, physics/0406043 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
