Multireference configuration interaction potential curve and analytical potential energy function of the ground and low-lying excited states of CdSe

The potential energy curves (PECs) of the ground state ($^{3}\Pi )$ and three low-lying excited states ($^{1}\Sigma $, $^{3}\Sigma $,$^{ 1}\Pi )$ of CdSe dimer have been studied by employing quasirelativistic effective core potentials on the basis of the complete active space self-consistent field method followed by multireference configuration interaction calculation. The four PECs are fitted to analytical potential energy functions using the Murrel--Sorbie potential function. Based on the PECs, the vibrational levels of the four states are determined by solving the Schr\"{o}dinger equation of nuclear motion, and corresponding spectroscopic constants are accurately calculated. The equilibrium positions as well as the spectroscopic constants and the vibrational levels are reported. By our analysis, the $^{3}\Pi $ state, of which the dissociation asymptote is Cd($^{1}$S) + Se($^{3}$P), is identified as a ground state of CdSe dimer, and the corresponding dissociation energy is estimated to be 0.39\,eV. However, the first excited state is only 1132.49\,cm$^{ - 1}$ above the ground state and the $^{3}\Sigma $ state is the highest in the four calculated states.

Ab initio MRCI+Q study on the low-lying excited states of the PBr radical including spin–orbit coupling†

High-level ab initio calculations have been performed on the PBr radical by using multi-reference configuration interaction method plus Davidson correction (+Q) with correlation-consistent quadruple-ζ quality basis set. The potential energy curves (PECs) of the 22 Λ–S states of PBr have been obtained, most of which are reported for the first time. From the PECs of the bound states, the spectroscopic constants have been determined, in good agreement with the experimental results where available. Due to the large state density, there exhibits complicated interactions in the electronic excited states of PBr. The possible interactions by the spin–orbit coupling (SOC) effect have been discussed based on the evaluated R-dependent spin–orbit matrix elements. The 51 Ω states, generating from the 22 Λ–S states after taking SOC into account, have been computed. The Λ–S component analysis of the wavefunctions for the Ω states indicates the strong interaction of the Λ–S states especially at the avoided crossing points and near the dissociation limits. Finally, the transition dipole moments of several transitions arising from upper Ω states to the X₁0⁺ and X₂1 states and the corresponding radiative lifetimes have been studied. Our calculation results provide new information that should be valuable for further experimental studies on the electronic excited states of the PBr radical.

Multireference configuration interaction study on spectroscopic properties of low-lying electronic states of As2 molecule

The potential energy curves (PECs) of four electronic states (X1Σ+g , e3△u , a 3 Σ-u , and d 3Πg ) of an As 2 molecule are investigated employing the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method followed by the valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) approach in conjunction with the correlation-consistent aug-cc-pV5Z basis set. The effect on PECs by the relativistic correction is taken into account. The way to consider the relativistic correction is to employ the second-order Douglas-Kroll Hamiltonian approximation. The correction is made at the level of a cc-pV5Z basis set. The PECs of the electronic states involved are extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. With the PECs, the spectroscopic parameters (Te , Re , ωe , ωexe , ωeye , αe , βe , γe , and Be ) of these electronic states are determined and compared in detail with those reported in the literature. Excellent agreement is found between the present results and the experimental data. The first 40 vibrational states are studied for each electronic state when the rotational quantum number J equals zero. In addition, the vibrational levels, inertial rotation and centrifugal distortion constants of d 3Πg electronic state are reported which are in excellent agreement with the available measurements. Comparison with the experimental data shows that the present results are both reliable and accurate.     

Ab initio study of ground and low-lying excited states of MgLi and MgLi+ molecules with valence full configuration interaction and MRCI method

The transition dipole moments are used to evaluate the radiative lifetimes of the vibrational levels for the low-lying excited states of the MgLi and MgLi⁺ molecules. The derived spectroscopic constants of the ground and low-lying excited states are in good agreement with available experimental and theoretical works.     

Ab initio calculation of the ground and first excited states of the lithium dimer

Based on a high level ab initio calculation which is carried out with the multireference configuration interaction method under the aug-cc-pVXZ (AVXZ) basis sets, X=T, Q, 5, the accurate potential energy curves (PECs) of the ground state ${\rm{X}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{g}^{+}$ and the first excited state ${\rm{A}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{u}^{+}$ of Li₂ are constructed. By fitting the ab initio potential energy points with the Murrell–Sorbie potential function, the analytic potential energy functions (APEFs) are obtained. The molecular bond length at the equilibrium (R_e), the potential well depth (D_e), and the spectroscopic constants (B_e, ω_e, α_e, and ω_eχ_e) for the ${\rm{X}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{g}^{+}$ state and the ${\rm{A}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{u}^{+}$ state are deduced from the APEFs. The vibrational energy levels of the two electronic states are obtained by solving the time-independent Schrödinger equation with the Fourier grid Hamiltonian method. All the spectroscopic constants and the vibrational levels agree well with the experimental results. The Franck–Condon factors (FCFs) corresponding to the transitions from the vibrational level (v′=0) of the ground state to the vibrational levels (v″=0–74) of the first excited state have been calculated. The FCF for the vibronic transition of ${\rm{A}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{u}^{+}$(v″=0) ←${\rm{X}}{}^{{\rm{1}}}{\rm{\Sigma }}_{g}^{+}$(v′=0) is the strongest. These PECs and corresponding spectroscopic constants provide reliable theoretical references to both the spectroscopic and the molecular dynamic studies of the Li₂ dimer.     

Molecule opacity study on low-lying states of CS

CS molecule, which plays a key role in atmospheric and astrophysical circumstances, has drawn great attention for long time. Owing to its large state density, the detailed information of the electronic structure of CS is still lacking. In this work, the high-level MRCI+Q method is used to compute the potential energy curves, dipole moments and transition dipole moments of singlet and triplet states correlated with the lowest dissociation limit of CS, based on which high accurate vibration—rotation levels and spectroscopic constants of bound states are evaluated. The opacity of CS relevant to atmospheric circumstance is computed at a pressure of 100 atms for different temperatures. With the increase of temperature, band systems from different transitions mingle with each other, and band boundaries become blurred, which are originated from the increased population on vibrational excited states and electronic excited states at high temperature.     

MRCI study on spectroscopic and molecular properties of four low-lying electronic states of the BO radical

The potential energy curves (PECs) of four low-lying electronic states of the BO radical, including two ²Σ⁺ and two ²Π states, have been studied using the full valence complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method followed by the highly accurate valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) approach in combination with the cc-pV5Z basis set for internuclear separations from 0.05 to 2.0 nm. The effect on the PECs by the relativistic correction has been taken into account. With these PECs, the spectroscopic parameters (T_e, D₀, D_e, R_e, ω_e, ω_ex_e, α_e and B_e) of two main isotopologues (¹¹B¹⁶O and ¹⁰B¹⁶O) have been determined. These parameters have been compared in detail with those of previous investigations reported in the literature, and excellent agreement has been found between the available data and the present results. By solving the radial Schrödinger equation of nuclear motion, 60 vibrational states for the ¹¹B¹⁶O(X²Σ⁺), 60 for the ¹⁰B¹⁶O(X²Σ⁺), 66 for the ¹¹B¹⁶O(A²Π) and 64 for the ¹⁰B¹⁶O(A²Π) are predicted for the non-rotating molecule. For each vibrational state of the ¹¹B¹⁶O(X²Σ⁺), ¹⁰B¹⁶O(X²Σ⁺), ¹¹B¹⁶O(A²Π) and ¹⁰B¹⁶O(A²Π), the vibrational level G(υ), inertial rotation constant B_υ and centrifugal distortion constant D_υ have been determined. Comparison with the available data shows that the present molecular constants are reliable and accurate. The ro-vibrational levels have been calculated for the X²Σ⁺ and A²Π states of two main species for future laboratory research.     

Accurate theoretical spectroscopic investigations of the 20 Λ-S and 58 Ω states of O2+ cation including the spin–orbit coupling effect

Of these 20 Λ-S states, the 1⁶Π_u state is found to be repulsive. The 1²Σ⁺_g, 1⁴Σ⁺_u, c⁴Σ^?_u and 1⁴Δ_u states are found to possess the double well. The b⁴Σ^?_g, 1⁶Σ⁺_g, 1⁴Σ⁺_u, a⁴Π_u, A²Π_u, 1⁶Π_g and 2⁴Π_g states are found to be inverted with the spin–orbit coupling effect included. The b′⁴Π_g, 1⁶Π_g, 1⁶Σ⁺_g, 1⁴Σ⁺_u and 1⁴Δ_u states, and the second well of the 1²Σ⁺_g state are found to be the weakly bound states. The b′⁴Π_g state is found to possess one well with one barrier. The PECs are calculated by the complete active space self-consistent field method, which is followed by the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction approach with the Davidson correction in combination with the aug-cc-pV6Z basis set. The core–valence correlation and scalar relativistic corrections are included. The convergent behaviour of present calculations is discussed with respect to the basis set and theoretical level. The spin–orbit coupling effect is accounted for. The PECs are extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. The spectroscopic parameters are evaluated, and compared with available measurements. It demonstrates that the spectroscopic parameters reported here can be expected to be reliably predicted ones.

Ab initio MRCI＋Q study on potential energy curves and spectroscopic parameters of low-lying electronic states of CS＋

Carbon monosulfide molecular ion （CS＋）, which plays an important role in various research fields, has long been attracting much interest. Because of the unstable and transient nature of CS＋, its electronic states have not been well investigated. In this paper, the electronic states of CS＋ are studied by employing the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction method, and taking into account relativistic effects （scalar plus spin–orbit coupling）. The spin–orbit coupling effects are considered via the state-interacting method with the full Breit–Pauli Hamiltonian. The potential energy curves of 18 Λ–S states correlated with the two lowest dissociation limits of CS＋ molecular ion are calculated, and those of 10 lowest Ω states generated from the 6 lowest Λ–S states are also worked out. The spectroscopic constants of the bound states are evaluated, and they are in good agreement with available experimental results and theoretical values. With the aid of analysis of Λ–S composition of Ω states at different bond lengths, the avoided crossing phenomena in the electronic states of CS＋ are illuminated. Finally, the single ionization spectra of CS （X1Σ＋） populating the CS＋（X2Σ1/2＋, A2Π3/2, A2Π1/2, and B2Σ1/2＋） states are simulated. The vertical ionization potentials for X2Σ1/2＋, A2Π3/2, A2Π1/2, and B2Σ1/2＋ states are calculated to be 11.257, 12.787, 12.827, and 15.860 eV, respectively, which are accurate compared with previous experimental results, within an error margin of 0.08 eV~0.2 eV.

Accurate spectroscopic calculations of the 19 Λ-S states and 36 Ω states of the BC+ cation

This work computed the potential energy curves of 19 Λ-S states, which arose from the first five dissociation limits of BC⁺ cation, B⁺(¹S_g) + C(³P_g), B⁺(¹S_g) + C(¹D_g), B⁺(¹S_g) + C(¹S_g), C⁺(²P_u) + B(²P_u), and B⁺(¹S_g) + C(⁵S_u). The calculations were done for internuclear separations from 0.08 to 1.07 nm. The potential energy curves of 36 Ω states yielded from these Λ-S states were also calculated. Core-valence correlation and scalar relativistic correction, basis set extrapolation as well as Davidson correction were accounted for. Of these Λ-S states, the c¹Σ⁺, D³Π, 2¹Π, 2³Σ⁺, 2¹Δ, 3¹Σ⁺, and 4¹Σ⁺ had double wells; the 3³Π and 3¹Π states had three wells; the C³Σ^? and D³Π states were inverted with the spin-orbit coupling effect included; and the second wells of c¹Σ⁺, D³Π and 3¹Σ⁺ states, the second and the third wells of 3³Π state as well as the third well of 3¹Π state were very weakly bound, which well depths were smaller than 400 cm^?1. The spectroscopic parameters were determined for all the states. The vibrational properties were predicted only for some weakly bound states. The spin-orbit coupling effect on the spectroscopic parameters was evaluated.
