Electronic states of the c is - and trans - H3ONO molecules: a CASPT2 study

The CASPT2 calculations for the S₀, T₁, S₁, T₂, and S₂ states of the cis- and trans-CH₃ONO molecules predict the energy levels and geometries of the cis- and trans-isomers in the different states. The CASPT2 adiabatic (T ₀) and vertical (T _v) excitation energies are in good agreement with available experimental data (for the S₁ cis- and trans-isomers). The CH₃O-NO dissociation potential energy curves were calculated at the CASPT2//CASSCF level, and the CASPT2 calculations were performed for the transition states along the T₁, S₁, and T₂ dissociation paths. For the repulsive S₂ state the calculations predict the T _v values larger than 5.4 eV and dissociation products of CH₃O (1²A″) + NO (X²Π).     

Potential energy surfaces in algebraic molecular models using coherent states

The potential energy surfaces provided by the coherent states formalism for the case of interacting one-dimensional oscillators is investigated. The case of two interacting oscillators modelled with Morse potentials are considered in detail. First the traditional treatment is presented in order to identify the need to establish a new transformation between the parameters and the classical variables that allow the full Hamiltonian to be recovered. To this end the connection between the su(2) algebraic model and the usual treatment in configuration space was taken into account. It is shown that the coherent state approach when applied to recover the potential energy surface (PES) from a polyad preserving Hamiltonian is viable only in systems with a local mode behaviour. For molecules with a normal mode behaviour the approach is still valid, but the polyad must be broken in order to recover the PES. Our approach is evaluated through the calculation of the force constants for H₂O and CO₂, representative examples of local and normal behaviours.     

Structural and spectroscopic properties of the diazocarbene radical (CNN) and its ions CNN+ and CNN−: a high-level theoretical investigation

The diazocarbene radical, CNN, and the ions CNN⁺ and CNN^? were investigated at a high level of theory. Very accurate structural parameters for the states X ³Σ^? and A ³Π of CNN, and X ²Π of both CNN⁺ and CNN^? were obtained with the UCCSD(T) method using correlated-consistent basis functions with extrapolations to the complete basis set limit, with valence only and also with all electrons correlated. Harmonic and anharmonic frequencies were obtained for all species and the Renner parameter and average frequencies evaluated for the Π states. At the UCCSD(T)/CBS_T-5 level of theory, Δ_f H(0 K) = 138.89 kcal/mol and Δ_f H(298 K) = 139.65 kcal/mol were obtained for diazocarbene; for the ionization potential and the electron affinity of CNN, 10.969 eV (252.95 kcal/mol), and 1.743 eV (40.19 kcal/mol), respectively, are predicted. Geometry optimization was also carried out with the CASSCF/MRCI/CBS_T-5 approach for the states X ³Σ^?, A ³Π, and a ¹Δ of CNN, and with the CASSCF/MRSDCI/aug-cc-pVTZ approach for the states b ¹Σ⁺, c ¹Π, d ¹Σ^?, and B ³Σ^?, and excitation energies (T_e) evaluated. Vertical energies were calculated for 15 electronic states, thus improving on the accuracy of the five transitions already described, and allowing for a reliable overview of a manifold of other states, which is expected to guide future spectroscopic experiments. This study corroborates the experimental assignment for the vertical transition X ³Σ^? ← E ³Π.     

Quasi-stationary states of the NRT nonlinear Schrödinger equation

With regards to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation recently advanced by Nobre, Rego-Monteiro, and Tsallis (NRT), based on Tsallis q$q$-thermo-statistical formalism, we investigate the existence and properties of its quasi-stationary solutions, which have the time and space dependences “separated” in a q$q$-deformed fashion. One recovers the normal factorization into purely spatial and purely temporal factors, corresponding to the standard, linear Schrödinger equation, when the deformation vanishes (q=1)$(q=1)$. We discuss various specific examples of exact, quasi-stationary solutions of the NRT equation. In particular, we obtain a quasi-stationary solution for the Moshinsky model, providing the first example of an exact solution of the NRT equation for a system of interacting particles.     

Chaos in social learning with multiple true states

Most existing social learning models assume that there is only one underlying true state. In this work, we consider a social learning model with multiple true states, in which agents in different groups receive different signal sequences generated by their corresponding underlying true states. Each agent updates his belief by combining his rational self-adjustment based on the external signals he received and the influence of his neighbors according to their communication. We observe chaotic oscillation in the belief evolution, which implies that neither true state could be learnt correctly by calculating the largest Lyapunov exponents and Hurst exponents.     

Coherent orthogonal polynomials

We discuss a fundamental characteristic of orthogonal polynomials, like the existence of a Lie algebra behind them, which can be added to their other relevant aspects. At the basis of the complete framework for orthogonal polynomials we include thus–in addition to differential equations, recurrence relations, Hilbert spaces and square integrable functions–Lie algebra theory.     

The equation-transform model for Dirac–Morse problem including Coulomb tensor interaction

The approximate solutions of Dirac equation with Morse potential in the presence of Coulomb-like tensor potential are obtained by using Laplace transform (LT) approach. The energy eigenvalue equation of the Dirac particles is found and some numerical results are obtained. By using convolution integral, the corresponding radial wave functions are presented in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions.
