Abstract:
Conical intersections (CIs) play a crucial role in photochemical reactions, offering an efficient channel for ultrafast non-adiabatic relaxation of excited states. This significantly influences the reaction pathways and the resulting products. In this work, we utilize the non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equation with complex modes method to explore the dynamics of electronic transitions through conical intersections (CIs) in pyrazine. The linear vibronic coupling model serves as the foundational framework, incorporating both intra-state and inter-state electron-vibrational interactions. The dynamics of the excited electronic transitions are analyzed across varying strengths of system-bath coupling and different bath relaxation times. The accuracy of this method is demonstrated by comparing its predictions with those from the hierarchical equations of motion method.
