Ultrafast Internal Conversion Dynamics Through the on-the-fly Simulation of Transient Absorption Pump-Probe Spectra with Different Electronic Structure Methods (2110.14901v1)

Published 28 Oct 2021 in physics.chem-ph

Abstract: The ultrafast nonadiabatic internal conversion in azomethane is explored by the on-the-fly trajectory surface-hopping simulations of photoinduced dynamics and femtosecond transient absorption (TA) pump-probe (PP) spectra at three electronic-structure theory levels, OM2/MRCI, SA-CASSCF, and XMS-CASPT2. All these dynamics simulations predict ultrafast internal conversion. On the one hand, the OM2/MRCI and SA-CASSCF methods yield similar excited-state dynamics, while the XMS-CASPT2 method predicts a much slower population decay. On the other hand, the TA PP signals simulated at the SA-CASSCF and XMS-CASPT2 levels show the similar spectral features, particularly for the similar stimulated emission contributions, while the OM2/MRCI signals are quite different. This demonstrates that the nonadiabatic population dynamics and time-resolved stimulated emission signals may reflect different aspects of photoinduced processes. The combination of the dynamical and spectral simulations definitely provides more accurate and detailed information which sheds light on the microscopic mechanisms of photophysical and photochemical processes.
