One-electron spin-orbit Jahn-Teller and pseudo-Jahn-Teller Hamiltonian formalism.

James' paper, titled "Unified one-electron Hamiltonian formalism of spin-orbit Jahn-Teller and pseudo-Jahn-Teller problems in axial symmetries", has been accepted for publication on J. Chem. Phys. Since spin-orbit interaction is mostly a one-electron operator, with the two-electron spin-orbit interaction being incorporated in the effective core-valence shielding, the derived formalism essentially covers all spin-orbit vibronic problems for […]

A unified formalism of Jahn-Teller and pseudo-Jahn-Teller Hamiltonians.

James' paper has just been accepted by J. Chem. Theory Comput. We derived a unified formalism of Jahn-Teller, pseudo-Jahn-Teller, and Renner-Teller Hamiltonians for all axial symmetries. The formalism has been incorporated in the a Python program, VHEGEN2.0. Henceforth, all expansion formulas of vibronic Hamiltonian operators for axial symmetries, from C1 to D∞h, can be generated […]

The VHEGEN program is published

The paper of the VHEGEN program has just been accepted by Computer Physics Communications. VHEGEN stands for Vibronic Hamiltonian Expansion GENerator. It is a python code that allows you to key in a Jahn-Teller or a pseudo-Jahn-Teller problem and then returns the expansion formulas of the vibronic Hamiltonian matrix elements. It covers all bimodal problems in […]
