Carvalho JR, Vidal LN. Calculation of absolute Raman scattering cross-sections using vibrational self-consistent field/vibrational configuration interaction wave functions. J Comput Chem 2022; 43:1484-1494. [PMID: 35731622 DOI: 10.1002/jcc.26951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022]
Abstract
In the present study, the differential scattering cross-sections, depolarization ratios and Raman shifts of small molecular systems are obtained from configuration iteration wave functions of vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF) states. The transition polarizabilities were modeled using the Placzek approximation, neglecting those contributions not arising from the electric dipole mechanism. This theoretical approach is considered a good approximation for samples that absorb in the UV range if the excitation radiation falls in the visible region, as is the case of the molecules selected for the present study, namely: water, methane, and acetylene. Potential energy and electronic polarizability surfaces are calculated by the CCSD(T) and CC3 methods with aug-cc-p(C)V(T,Q,5)Z basis sets. The vibrational Hamiltonian includes the vibrational angular momentum contribution of the Watson kinetic energy operator. As expected, due to the variational nature of the VSCF and vibrational configuration interaction (VCI) methods, the Raman transition wavenumbers are substantially improved over the harmonic predictions. Surprisingly, the scattering cross-sections obtained using the harmonic approximation or the VSCF method better agrees with the experimental values than those cross-sections predicted using VCI wave functions. The more significant deviations of the VCI results from the experimental reference may be related to the significant uncertainties of the measured cross-sections. Still, it may also indicate that the VCI Raman transition moments may require a more accurate description of the electronic polarizability surface. Finally, the depolarization ratios calculated for H2 O and C2 D2 using harmonic and VCI wave functions have similar accuracy, whereas, for C2 H2 and C2 HD, the VCI results are more accurate.

Abstract
An outline of a newly developed program for the simulation of rovibrational nonresonant Raman spectra is presented. This program is an extension of our recently developed code for rovibrational infrared spectra [J. Chem Phys. 152 (2020) 244104] and relies on vibrational wavefunctions from variational configuration interaction theory to allow for an almost fully automated calculation of such spectra in pure ab initio fashion. Due to efficient contraction schemes this program requires modest computational resources and it can be controlled by only a few lines of input. As the required polarizability surfaces are also computed in an automated fashion, this implementation enables the routine application to small molecules. For demonstrating its capabilities, benchmark calculations for water H216O are compared to reference data and spectra for the beryllium dihydride dimer, Be2H4 (D2h), are predicted. The inversion symmetry of the D2h systems lead to complementary infrared and Raman spectra, which are needed both for a comprehensive investigation of this system.

Abstract
The experimental and theoretical determination of the mean excitation energy, I(0), and the stopping power, S(v), of a material is of great interest in particle and material physics and radiation therapy. For calculations of I(0), the complete set of electronic transitions in a given basis set is required, effectively limiting such calculations to systems with a small number of electrons, even at the random-phase approximation (RPA)/time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) or time-dependent density-functional theory level. To overcome such limitations, we present here the implementation of a Lanczos algorithm adapted for the paired RPA/TDHF eigenvalue problem in the Dalton program and show that it provides good approximation of the entire RPA eigenspectra in a reduced space. We observe rapid convergence of I(0) with the number of Lanczos vectors as the algorithm favors the transitions with large contributions. In most cases, the algorithm recovers RPA I(0) values of up to 0.5% accuracy at less than a quarter of the full space size. The algorithm not only exploits the RPA paired structure to save computational resources but also preserves certain sum-over-states properties, as first demonstrated by Johnson et al. [Comput. Phys. Commun. 120, 155 (1999)]. The block Lanczos RPA solver, as presented here, thus shows promise for computing mean excitation energies for systems larger than what was computationally feasible before.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to demonstrate advances, challenges and perspectives of quantum chemical approaches in molecular spectroscopy of the condensed phase. Molecular spectroscopy, particularly vibrational spectroscopy and electronic spectroscopy, has been used extensively for a wide range of areas of chemical sciences and materials science as well as nano- and biosciences because it provides valuable information about structure, functions, and reactions of molecules. In the meantime, quantum chemical approaches play crucial roles in the spectral analysis. They also yield important knowledge about molecular and electronic structures as well as electronic transitions. The combination of spectroscopic approaches and quantum chemical calculations is a powerful tool for science, in general. Thus, our article, which treats various spectroscopy and quantum chemical approaches, should have strong implications in the wider scientific community. This review covers a wide area of molecular spectroscopy from far-ultraviolet (FUV, 120-200 nm) to far-infrared (FIR, 400-10 cm-1)/terahertz and Raman spectroscopy. As quantum chemical approaches, we introduce several anharmonic approaches such as vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF) and the combination of periodic harmonic calculations with anharmonic corrections based on finite models, grid-based techniques like the Numerov approach, the Cartesian coordinate tensor transfer (CCT) method, Symmetry-Adapted Cluster Configuration-Interaction (SAC-CI), and the ZINDO (Semi-empirical calculations at Zerner's Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap). One can use anharmonic approaches and grid-based approaches for both infrared (IR) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, while CCT methods are employed for Raman, Raman optical activity (ROA), FIR/terahertz and low-frequency Raman spectroscopy. Therefore, this review overviews cross relations between molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemical approaches, and provides various kinds of close-reality advanced spectral simulation for condensed phases.
