Extended MR-CISD and MR-AQCC calculations have been performed on the ground state and the first two excited states of malonaldehyde. Full geometry optimizations have been carried for Cs and C2v structures both at MR-CISD and MR-AQCC levels. Vertical and minimum-to-minimum excitation energies and oscillator strengths have been computed. Systematic studies have been undertaken concerning several types of reference spaces. Agreement with the experimental 0-0 transition energy to the S1 state (expt. 3.50 eV, calc. 3.56 eV) and for the vertical excitation to S2 (expt. band maximum 4.71 eV, best estimate 4.86 eV) is very good. In agreement with the CASSCF/CASPT2 results by Sobolewski and Domcke (J. Phys. Chem. A 1999, 103, 4494), we find that the hydrogen bond in malonaldehyde is weakened by excitation to the S1 state. The barrier for proton transfer in the S1 state is increased in comparison with the ground state.

The ground state and low-lying excited states of the CCCN radical and its ions have been investigated systematically using the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and multi-configuration second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) methods in conjunction with the ANO-RCC-TZP basis set. The calculated results show that the state 12Σ+ has the lowest CASPT2 energy among the electronic states. By means of the geometric optimization of this radical, it could be found that the molecule exhibits linear structure, with the bond lengths R1 = 1.214 Å, R2 = 1.363 Å, R3 = 1.162 Å, which are very close to the experimental values. The calculated vertical excitation energies and the corresponding oscillator strengths show that there are three relatively strong peaks at energies 0.63, 4.04, and 5.49 eV, which correspond to the transitions 12Σ+ → 12Π, 12Σ+ → 22Π, and 12Σ+ → 22Σ+, respectively. Additionally, the electronic configuration and the harmonic vibration frequencies of each state are also investigated.

Configuration Interaction Calculations

Vertical excitation energies and oscillator strengths of doublet and quartet states of ClOO, covering doublet states up to 7.5 eV and quartet states up to 9 eV, were obtained by multireference configuration interaction calculations. Strong absorptions from the X2A″ ground state are predicted at 186 and 235 nm. Experimentally, a maximum has been found near 248 nm. The grouping of excited states, with twelve low-lying doublet states and three low-lying quartet states, is explained by the interaction of the 2P ground state of Cl with the π*2 states 3Σg–, 1Δg, and 1Σg+ of O2. Potential energy curves for Cl–O separation at fixed O–O distance and ClOO angle show the lower states to be repulsive (with the exception of the ground state), and higher states to have minima due to avoided crossings. The lowest Rydberg states are expected around 8.5 eV. Adiabatic ionization potentials (IP) and electron affinities (EA) of ClOO were obtained by density functional and coupled cluster methods, with values of 11.60–11.79 eV for IP and 3.56–3.79 eV for EA.

Ab initio CI studies have been performed to determine the geometry of the ground and first electronically excited states of the chlorothioformyl radical, ClCS, and the vertical excitation energies of its ten lowest doublet states and two lowest quartet states. The results are used to construct a more complete energy level correlation diagram for the photofragmentation of Cl2CS. The lowest excited electronic state of ClCS lies only 0.79 eV (adiabatic) above the ground state. Its discovery indicates that the results of previous photofragmentation experiments may need to be reinterpreted.

Previous calculations on the ground states of the hydrides are extended to include the stable excited states. The ab initio orbital calculations predict vertical excitation energies which differ from the experimental values by as much as 2eV. However, when allowance is made for the effects of atomic electron correlation all errors in the calculated excitation energies become less than 0·2eV. The locations of excited states of different multiplicities from those of the ground states are predicted to within this accuracy. The oscillator strengths of allowed transitions from the ground states are calculated using both the dipole-length and dipole-velocity formulae. The dipole-length values are in fair agreement with the only experimental value available (for OH 2 ll → 2 ∑ + ), whereas the dipole-velocity values are much too large. Possible improvements in the accuracy of the calculations are discussed.

The Future

The purpose of this work is to describe, in light of shell model calculations using the PSDPF interaction, the particular states with J = 0 in sd shell nuclei. These states are difficult to observe. It is well known that the ground state in even–even nuclei has Jπ = 0+ and therefore we are interested in describing their first excited [Formula: see text] states. We have also studied the first and second excited 0− states in all sd nuclei. The experimental and theoretical excitation energies of these states were confronted. This study allowed us to make predictions of the existence of [Formula: see text] and (or) [Formula: see text] states in nuclei, which do not possess these states, or to have an idea of their excitation energies for possible experiments in the future.

Good Agreement

The exciton model developed in an earlier paper is applied quantitatively to a description of the excited states of representative members of the helium isoelectronic series; viz. H-, He, Li+,Be2+ and Ne8+. The energies of the eight lowest excited states are in good agreement with experiment, for a relatively small (1s-4p) hydrogenic basis; the ground state is obtained with slightly less precision. Response properties including oscillator strengths, polarizabilities and dispersion interaction coefficients are also calculated. The method appears to be quantitatively sound, and, above all, leads to particularly simple interpretations of the wave functions and the energies.

AbstractPump-excited-state-absorption (ESA) measurements on Er3+-doped phosphates, fluorophosphates, and silicate bulk glasses indicate that ESA cross sections are approximately equal to ground state absorption (GSA) cross sections in the 800-nm band. The oscillator strengths of the ESA and GSA bands are also approximately equal, in qualitative agreement with Judd-Ofelt calculations. Fluorozirconate samples were found to have substantial populations in the upper excited states for the measurement conditions used and ESA transitions originating from four excited states were identified. Fluorozirconate fiber amplifiers and lasers at 1.55 μm, therefore, would have decreased efficiency for 800-nm pumping.
