This paper reports an implementation of Hartree-Fock linear response with complex orbitals for computing electronic spectra of molecules in a strong external magnetic fields. The implementation is completely general, allowing for spin-restricted, spin-unrestricted, and general two-component reference states. The method is applied to small molecules placed in strong uniform and non-uniform magnetic fields of astrochemical importance at the Random Phase Approximation level of theory. For uniform fields, where comparison is possible, the spectra are found to be qualitatively similar to those recently obtained with equation of motion coupled cluster theory. We also study the behaviour of spin-forbidden excitations with progressive loss of spin symmetry induced by non-uniform magnetic fields. Finally, the equivalence of length and velocity gauges for oscillator strengths when using complex orbitals is investigated and found to hold numerically.

We construct a density-functional formalism adapted to uniform external magnetic fields that is intermediate between conventional Density Functional Theory and Current-Density Functional Theory (CDFT). In the intermediate theory, which we term LDFT, the basic variables are the density, the canonical momentum, and the paramagnetic contribution to the magnetic moment. Both a constrained-search formulation and a convex formulation in terms of Legendre--Fenchel transformations are constructed. Many theoretical issues in CDFT find simplified analogues in LDFT. We prove results concerning $N$-representability, Hohenberg--Kohn-like mappings, existence of minimizers in the constrained-search expression, and a restricted analogue to gauge invariance. The issue of additivity of the energy over non-interacting subsystems, which is qualitatively different in LDFT and CDFT, is also discussed.
An implementation of coupled-cluster (CC) theory to treat atoms and molecules in finite magnetic fields is presented. The main challenges stem from the magnetic-field dependence in the Hamiltonian, or, more precisely, the appearance of the angular mo mentum operator, due to which the wave function becomes complex and which introduces a gauge-origin dependence. For this reason, an implementation of a complex CC code is required together with the use of gauge-including atomic orbitals to ensure gauge-origin independence. Results of coupled-cluster singles--doubles--perturbative-triples (CCSD(T)) calculations are presented for atoms and molecules with a focus on the dependence of correlation and binding energies on the magnetic field.
The method of molecular dynamics is used to study behavior of a ultracold non-ideal ion-electron Be plasma in a uniform magnetic field. Our simulations yield an estimate for the rate of electron-ion collisions which is non-monotonicallydependent on t he magnetic field magnitude. Also they explicitly show that there are two types of diffusion: classical one, corresponding to Brownian motion of particles, and Bohm diffusion when the trajectory of particles (guiding centers) includes substantial lengths of drift motion.
The presence of solvent tunes many properties of a molecule, such as its ground and excited state geometry, dipole moment, excitation energy, and absorption spectrum. Because the energy of the system will vary depending on the solvent configuration, explicit solute-solvent interactions are key to understanding solution-phase reactivity and spectroscopy, simulating accurate inhomogeneous broadening, and predicting absorption spectra. In this tutorial review, we give an overview of factors to consider when modeling excited states of molecules interacting with explicit solvent. We provide practical guidelines for sampling solute-solvent configurations, choosing a solvent model, performing the excited state electronic structure calculations, and computing spectral lineshapes. We also present our recent results combining the vertical excitation energies computed from an ensemble of solute-solvent configurations with the vibronic spectra obtained from a small number of frozen solvent configurations, resulting in improved simulation of absorption spectra for molecules in solution.
We combine experimental and theoretical approaches to explore excited rotational states of molecules embedded in helium nanodroplets using CS$_2$ and I$_2$ as examples. Laser-induced nonadiabatic molecular alignment is employed to measure spectral li nes for rotational states extending beyond those initially populated at the 0.37 K droplet temperature. We construct a simple quantum mechanical model, based on a linear rotor coupled to a single-mode bosonic bath, to determine the rotational energy structure in its entirety. The calculated and measured spectral lines are in good agreement. We show that the effect of the surrounding superfluid on molecular rotation can be rationalized by a single quantity -- the angular momentum, transferred from the molecule to the droplet.
