Low-lying Rydberg states of HCl.
Vertical excitation energies belonging to some different Rydberg series of hydrogen chloride have been determined with a coupled-cluster theoretical approach. These excitation energies have allowed us to calculate electric dipole transition intensities in HCl and allow additional assessment of the calculation approach presently used to provide an adequate description of the valence and Rydberg states of HCl. The molecular quantum defect orbital has been applied to the calculation of oscillator strengths. In particular, new insight is given on the assignment of states as the R1Pi, the 1Delta(4dpi and 5ppi), the 1Sigma+(4dpi), and the nddelta(1Pi, 1Phi) and 4f states.
Full configuration interaction calculation of BeH adiabatic states.
An all-electron full configuration interaction (FCI) calculation of the adiabatic potential energy curves of some of the lower states of BeH molecule is presented. A moderately large ANO basis set of atomic natural orbitals (ANO) augmented with Rydberg functions has been used in order to describe the valence and Rydberg states and their interactions. The Rydberg set of ANOs has been placed on the Be at all bond distances. So, the basis set can be described as 4s3p2d1f3s2p1d(BeH)+4s4p2d(Be). The dipole moments of several states and transition dipole strengths from the ground state are also reported as a function of the R(Be-H) distance. The position and the number of states involved in sever…
Excitation energies and photoabsorption oscillator strengths of the Rydberg series in CF3Cl. A linear response and quantum defect study.
Vertical excitation energies of the CF(3)Cl molecule have been obtained from a response function approach with a CC reference function to determine absolute photoabsorption oscillator strengths in the molecular-adapted quantum defect orbital formalism (MQDO). The present work covers more highly excited Rydberg states than have been experimentally reported. Assessing of the reliability of the present calculations is provided through a comparative analysis between the results of the molecule and the Cl atom. This can be used to allow for predictions of the same type of properties in other analogous systems.
MQDO theoretical study of the C1Π–X1Σ+ band system of HCl
Abstract Oscillator strengths for P, Q and R rotational lines belonging to the (0, v ″ = 0, 1) and (1, v ″ = 0, 1) bands for the C 1 Π–X 1 Σ + system of HCl have been theoretically studied. The calculations have been performed by following the molecular quantum defect orbital methodology, which has earlier proved to yield accurate intensities for transitions involving Rydberg states in a variety of molecular species. The results appear to be in good accord with the available experimental values. Predictions of a number of unknown intensities have also been made. We expect that the present data might be of help in the interpretation of future experimental measurements.
Lower Rydberg series of methane: a combined coupled cluster linear response and molecular quantum defect orbital calculation.
Vertical excitation energies as well as related absolute photoabsorption oscillator strength data are very scarce in the literature for methane. In this study, we have characterized the three existing series of low-lying Rydberg states of CH4 by computing coupled cluster linear response (CCLR) vertical excitation energies together with oscillator strengths in the molecular-adapted quantum defect orbital formalism from a distorted Cs geometry selected on the basis of outer valence green function calculations. The present work provides a wide range of data of excitation energies and absolute oscillator strengths which correspond to the Rydberg series converging to the three lower ionization p…
A theoretical study of the rotational structure of the ϵ(0,0) band of NO
This study has been focused on the ϵ(0,0) band of the nitric oxide molecule, associated with the absorption electronic transition D2Σ+X 2Π, in the energetic vacuum ultraviolet region. A temperature of 295 K has been considered. The Molecular Quantum Defect Orbital (MQDO) methodology, with which reliable spectroscopic data have been reached in the γ(0,0), δ(0,0), and δ(1,0) bands of the same molecule, has also been used for these calculations. We hope that the present results might be of straightforward use in atmospheric and interstellar chemistry. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2010
Rydberg, valence and mixed states in the vertical spectrum of HF
Abstract Size-consistent self-consistent multireference singles and doubles configuration interaction (SC)2–MR–SDCI, and linear response coupled cluster of singles and doubles including triples LR–CCSDR(3) methods, with a basis set of ANO’s augmented with a single series of molecular Rydberg functions, have been applied to the calculation of vertical excitation energies of HF in the 10–16 eV region. Special care has been put in the description of the valence, Rydberg and mixed states. Some advantage has been taken from the different physical contents of the methods to discuss some assignments. The (4,5) f Rydberg states of HF are predicted at 15.2 and 15.5 eV.
Theoretical study of the discrete and continuum spectrum of BeH
The transition intensities supplied in this Letter are directly connected with a description of the discrete and continuum spectrum of BeH. An attempt to meet our goal requires the calculation of the absorption oscillator strengths of several transitions to Rydberg states of BeH, together with differential oscillator strengths which give rise to different dipole-allowed photoionization channels from the molecular ground state. The calculations have been performed with the molecular-adapted quantum defect orbital (MQDO) approach. Predictions of new spectroscopic data on BeH at energies where high Rydberg transitions can take place, including the continuum region of the spectrum have been mad…
