1 PolyCEID: towards a better description of non-adiabatic molecular processes by Correlated Electron-Ion Dynamics Lorenzo Stella, R. Miranda, A.P. Horsfield, A.J. Fisher London Centre for Nanotechnology and University College London
2 PolyCEID Correlated Electron-Ion Dynamics (CEID) for Polymers (and molecules) Conjugated polymers Strong e-ion interaction The original CEID (see D. Dundas talk) not adequate New theory & new code Work in progress Source: Source: Schwartz, Annu.Rev.Chem.Phys.
3 Key concepts Expanding quantum fluctuations of ions about their mean-field trajectory High order fluctuations needed for wave-packet splitting, especially for confined systems. Accuracy can be tuned, convergence to the exact Schrödinger dynamics Smooth dynamics, i.e., no jumps No need to diagonalise H e, good for metals Landau-Zener Crossing
4 Outline Introduction Exciton decay in conjugated polymers The PolyCEID algorithm Electronic correlations (R.Miranda) Conclusions and perspectives
5 Role of quantum fluctuation of ions EXCITON DECAY IN CONJUGATED POLYMERS
6 Electronic excitation in conjugated polymers Electron-ion interaction: the electronic structure is affected by the molecular conformation, and vice versa. Dimerised ground state Exciton-like excitation + - Polarons-like excitation (pair) - +
7 Non-radiative decay of excited conjugated polymers e.g., Polyacetylene The simplest semi-empirical model for π electrons: The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model: Lumped C-H atoms H t 2 0 ( 1 di, j )( ci c j h. c.) K di, j i, j 2 1 e-ion interaction (π electrons)
8 Role of quantum fluctuations of ions 32+2 atom SSH chain i Ri 1 2Ri 2Ri 1 Dim. ( ) 4 Chain dimerisation: deformation with respect to the relaxed GS to 1-1 decay!
9 Non-radiative exciton decay Transition density matrix (R. Martin JCP 2003) ( h) ij k Tr ci ck ck c j0 Message: quantum fluctuations of ions can open new decay channels! 9
10 A new decay channel Mean-field (Ehrenfest) dynamics: Classical ions No quantum fluctuations No spontaneous electron decay CEID: Quantum ions Quantum fluctuations Electron decay by spontaneous emission of phonons
11 Theory and computation The PolyCEID ALGORITHM
12 Representation of the electron-ion state 2 We know the equations, but not the P i H e( R) solutions! Searching for the best t 2M approximation in a huge Hilbert space Mean-field trajectory CEID expansion order Matrix coefficients e-ion correlations CEID expansion: N CEID n, m n m Quantum fluctuations of the ions Ionic fluctuations: either Cartesian or normal modes CEID 0 Ehrenfest dynamics
13 CEID expansion to observables Expanding observables: O O n, m n, m n m Original CEID moments: O Tr O n, m n, mm, n Equal to 2 nd moment self-consistent CEID (D. Dundas) up to the 1 st order in the e-ion interaction. CEID EOMs n m 1 t i H, (corrections). n, m Derivatives of H here (1 st & 2 nd )
14 Sketch of the PolyCEID algorithm Input parsing Initial conditions Propagation Analysis
15 Sketch of the PolyCEID algorithm Input parsing Initial conditions (Still in progress) Flexible user interface. Possibility to customise the SSH Hamiltonian (different topologies, parametrisations, etc.) Propagation Analysis

(single-body e - ) 3. CEID Eqs. (many-body e - ) R P F P / M i H ( R) i Energy cut-off E det <E cut ij j Orbital basis set rotation (integrate fast quantum oscillations out)
18 Sketch of the PolyCEID algorithm Input parsing Initial conditions Propagation Analysis (Still in progress) Configurations must be saved (and reused) when it s possible. Observables and correlations functions computed at the end.

20 Including Coulomb interaction ELECTRONIC CORRELATIONS

Miranda Pariser Parr Pople (PPP) Hamiltonian H H SSH U i ( n )( n ) ( 1)( 1),, V,, i j i j n i i i n j Level ordering of conjugated polymers (e.g., luminescence) CI expansion, coefficients fixed by symmetry (e.g., singlet), evolution of the single-particle orbitals, only! Dirac-Frenkel variational principle t 2 S dt H i t T ( R) t 1 i ij j
22 Importance of e-e interaction I: single chain Experimentally, triplet excitons are more localised Singlet Triplet
23 Importance of e-e interaction II: double chain E kin <E ee E kin E ee E kin >E ee Competition between: Kinetic term (hopping), delocalisation Potential term (Coulomb), localisation Three different regimes
24 Conclusions and perspectives Quantum fluctuations of ions can open new decay channels, spontaneous emission of phonons By CEID, quantum fluctuations can be included in a systematic and converging way Convergence demonstrated also for the electronic degrees of freedom, many-body states, CAS, and energy cut-off Electronic correlations by MCTDHF (R. Miranda) We want to merge the two approaches, complete description of nonadiabatic processes in molecular systems The project is growing, we re searching for new collaborators with expertises in quantum chemistry

27 PolyCEID scaling Polynomial scaling The cost of a typical (i.e., nonoptimised) CEID simulation is: N modes N N modes CEID times more computational demanding than a typical Mean-field (Ehrenfest) simulation. 2 BUT, one can still reduce the cost by including only quantum fluctuations about relevant modes (physical insight)
28 Troubles with classical ions Electrons (fields): Infinite degrees of freedom Ions (particles): Finite degrees of freedom No thermalisation! e.g. Ehrenfest dynamics. No spontaneous emission (phonons) 28
29 Mean-field dynamics (Ehrenfest) Ions are heavy and (almost) localised Electrons are light and delocalised Mean-field forces into Newton s eq. (ions) F H ( t) ( R) ( t) R + time-dependent Schrödinger eq. (electrons) Several nice features: Insight from trajectories. No PES required (only Hamiltonian). Smooth dynamics i.e., no jumps. Good for metals and insulators 29
30 Adding quantum fluctuations: Correlated electron-ion dynamics (CEID) Density matrix electrons: ( t) ( t) ( t) TrI{ } e Ehrenfest dynamics ( R R) e Uncorrelated: CEID expansion: N CEID n, m n m Correlated CEID 0 Ehrenfest dynamics: 0,

32 Theoretical model Hϋckel model π-electrons, hopping depends on bond length (SSH model) polarons, excitons No e-e interaction. 1D model, C-H groups are sites of a chain sites, open boundary conditions (electrons). Initial conditions: dimerised chain, excited state. Fluctuations: normal modes expansion. Most coupled mode: dimerisation mode. Electronic configuration: 10 Slater s determinants.
