We investigate the molecular geometries of the ground state and the minimal energy conical intersections (MECIs) between the ground and first excited states of the models for the retinal protonated Schiff base in the gas phase using the extended multistate complete active space second-order perturbation theory (XMS-CASPT2). The biggest model in this work is the rhodopsin chromophore truncated between the {epsilon} and {delta} carbon atoms, which consists of 54 atoms and 12-orbital {pi} conjugation. The results are compared with those obtained by the state-averaged complete active space self-consistent field (SA-CASSCF). The XMS-CASPT2 results suggest that the minimum energy conical intersection associated with the so-called 13-14 isomerization is thermally inaccessible, which is in contrast to the SA-CASSCF results. The differences between the geometries of the conical intersections computed by SA-CASSCF and XMS-CASPT2 are ascribed to the fact that the charge transfer states are more stabilized by dynamical electron correlation than the diradicaloid states. The impact of the various choices of active spaces, basis sets, and state averaging schemes is also examined.
The fitting of physical models is often done only using a single target observable. However, when multiple targets are considered, the fitting procedure becomes cumbersome, there being no easy way to quantify the robustness of the model for all diffe
A new one-dimensional model is proposed for the low-energy vibrational quantum dynamics of CH5+ based on the motion of an effective particle confined to a 60-vertex graph ${Gamma}_{60}$ with a single edge length parameter. Within this model, the quan
The SEHRS spectrum of 4,4 Bipyridine is analyzed on the base of the Dipole Quadrupole theory. It is demonstrated that there appear strong lines caused by vibrations transforming after a unit irreducible representation of the D2 symmetry group. which
We consider the emergent behavior of viral spread when agents in a large population interact with each other over a contact network. When the number of agents is large and the contact network is a complete graph, it is well known that the population
In nanopore sequencing, electrical signal is measured as DNA molecules pass through the sequencing pores. Translating these signals into DNA bases (base calling) is a highly non-trivial task, and its quality has a large impact on the sequencing accur
