The partition of the total excitation energy between the fission fragments for the n th +235 U and n(En = 5.55 MeV)+235 U fission reactions are analyzed with the experimental data available. Our results show that the total excitation energy is not shared by the fragments in proportion of their masses but support the so-called energy sorting-mechanism. The temperature of the heavy fragment is generally lower than that of the light one when the shell effect does not play a strong role. As soon as the mass of heavy fragment closes to 132, its temperature becomes higher than the complementary light one because of strong shell effect. Our results also show that the heavy fragments gain more energy than the complementary light ones when the incident neutron energy increases.

The excitation energies calculated by the HAM/3 procedure for ΠΠ* transitions in linear molecules can be internally inconsistent by as much as ± 0.6 eV. In the recent study by Åsbrink etal., the problem was avoided by adopting Recknagel's expressions and requiring the proper average ΠΠ* excitation energy. In this paper, we trace the small inconsistency back to its origin in HAM/3 theory and derive the analytical expression for the energy correction as well as Recknagel's formulas. Numerical examples studied include all seven linear molecules investigated by Åsbrink etal. The explicit expression for the correction enables us to perform meaningful configuration-interaction calculations on the excited states, as illustrated by the carbon suboxide molecule.

In the current work we have investigated the ability of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) to predict the absorption spectra of a series of oxazine dyes and the effect of solvent on the accuracy of these predictions. Based on the results of this study, it is clear that for the series of oxazine dyes an accurate prediction of the excitation energy requires the inclusion of solvent. Implicit solvent included via a polarizable continuum approach was found to be sufficient in reproducing the excitation energies accurately in the majority of cases. Moreover, we found that the SMD solvent model, which is dependent on the full electron density of the solute without partitioning into partial charges, gave more reliable results for our systems relative to the conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM), as implemented in Gaussian 09. In all cases the inclusion of solvent reduces the error in the predicted excitation energy to <0.3 eV and in the majority of cases to <0.1 eV.

There are numerous publications on benchmarking quantum chemistry methods for excited states. These studies rarely include Charge Transfer (CT) states although many interesting phenomena in e.g. biochemistry and material physics involve transfer of electron between fragments of the system. Therefore, it is timely to test the accuracy of quantum chemical methods for CT states, as well. In this study we first suggest a set benchmark systems consisting of dimers having low-energy CT states. On this set, the excitation energy has been calculated with coupled cluster methods including triple excitations (CC3, CCSDT-3, CCSD(T)(a)* ), as well as with methods including full or approximate doubles (CCSD, STEOM-CCSD, CC2, ADC(2), EOM-CCSD(2)). The results show that the popular CC2 and ADC(2) methods are much more inaccurate for CT states than for valence states. On the other hand, CCSD seems to have similar systematic overestimation of the excitation energies for both valence and CT states. Concerning triples methods, the new CCSD(T)(a)* method including non-iterative triple excitations preforms very well for all type of states, delivering essentially CCSDT quality results.<br>

The observed properties of the low-lying collective excitations of 96Zr and 96Mo are investigated in the framework of the collective quadrupole nuclear model with the Bohr Hamiltonian, whose potential energy has two minima – spherical and deformed. Satisfactory description of the excitation energies and E2 transition probabilities is obtained. It is shown that in the case of 96Zr both minima are sufficiently deep. However, in the case of 96Mo a deformed minimum is only outlined.

Inelastically scattered IX-particles from the reaction 32S(IX, 1X')32S have been studied with solid state counters at extreme backward angles in order to determine spin-parity combinations for levels in 32S at excitation energies Ex up to 7 �15 MeV. The results confirm the well-established spin and parity values, show that the 5� 798 MeV spin 1 state has negative parity, and provide narrow limits for the possible spin and parity values of the 6'410,6' 666,6' 762, and 6� 854 MeV levels. A previously unreported natural parity level was found at Ex = 6�58 MeV. Magnetic analysis of the reaction 32S(p, p')32S confirmed the existence of this level and established its excitation energy as 6�581�0�003 MeV. Particle-y-ray coincidence studies showed that this level decays predominantly by y-ray transitions to the 2�23 MeV 2 + state.

We put together equation of motion coupled cluster theory and the interacting quantum atoms electronic energy partition to determine how an absorbed photon changes atomic energies as well as covalent and noncovalent interactions within a molecule or molecular cluster.

ABSTRACTMonochromatized synchrotron radiation has been employed as the excitation source for soft x-ray emission spectroscopy. In the present paper changes in the emission spectra that occur as the excitation energy is varied near the core-absorption threshold are discussed. In the case of crystalline silicon, strong variations are seen in the L2,3 emission for excitation energies up to 30 eV above threshold. These variations are shown to be dependent on the crystalline order of the material and can be interpreted in terms of restrictions on the crystal momentum that arise in an inelastic scattering description of the combined absorption and emission. On the other hand this description is less relevant to the excitation-energy dependence of ionic insulators, in which strong phonon coupling removes these restrictions on crystal momentum. In the insulators B2O3 and BN strong variations in the emission are observed at threshold, upon creation of a core exciton: the exciton affects the emission through its influence on the phonon coupling as well as on the initial and final-state screening.
