Metal-Induced Fast Vibrational Energy Relaxation: Quantum Nuclear Effects Captured in Diabatic Independent Electron
1Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai 400076, India.
Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a simple approach to include quantum nuclear effects in the weak electronic coupling regime within the independent electron surface hopping (IESH) method for simulating nonadiabatic dynamics near metal surfaces. Our method uses electronic states in a diabatic basis, and electronic transitions between metal and molecular states are included using Landau-Zener theory. We benchmark our novel approach using a two-state model system for which exact results (obtained from Fermi's golden rule) are available. We further investigate the effect of metallic electrons on the rate and the pathway of vibrational energy relaxation.

In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers...
