I Introduct ion

The majority of chemical systems and chemical

processes can be theoretically described within the

Born-Oppenheim er (BO) approximation's2 which as-

sumes that nuclear and electronic motions can be

separated. With this separation, the states of the

electrons can be d etermine d from th e electronic Schro-

edinger equation, which depends only parametrically

on the nuclear positions through t he po tential energy

operator. As a result the calculations of dynamical

processes in m olecules can be divided into two pa rts:

the electronic problem is solved for fixed positions of

atomic nuclei, and th en th e nuclear dynamics on a given

predeterm ined electronic poten tial surface orsurfaces,

in the case of near degenerate electronic states, is

considered. T he most important consequence of the

above approximation is the potential-energy surface

(PE S) concept, which provides a conceptual as well as

a com putational base for molecular physics and chem -

istry. Sep aration of the nuclear and electronic degrees

of freedom has had significant impac t and has greatly

simplified the theoretical view of the properties of

molecules. T he molecular properties can be rationalized

by considering th e dynam ics on a single electronic PE S,

in most cases the P E S of the ground state. Phenomena

and processes such as internal rotational barriers,

dissociation, molecular dynamics, m olecular scattering,

transitions to other electronic states, and infrared and

microwave spectroscopy have simple and intuitive

interpretat ions based on the PE S ~ o n c e p t .~

Theoretical determination of PES's for ground and

excited states has been on e of th e primary objectives

of qu ant um chem istry. One of th e mos t remark able

developments in this area in th e last two decades has

been the theory of analytical derivatives.' Th is theory

involves calculation of derivatives of th e

BO

potential

energy with respect to the nuclear coordinates or

mag nitudes of external fields. Besides the use of

analytical derivatives in characterizing the local cur-

vature of PES's, they are required for calculation of

electronic an d magnetic p roperties (energy derivatives

with respect to applied external field) as well as in

calculations of forces and force constants.

Theore tical justification of the BO ap proxim ation is

not a trivial matter. One should mention here a study

presented by WooleJPBand Wooley and Sutcliffe.6They

draw attention to the fact that the BO approximation

cann ot be justified in any simple way in a com pletely

nonclassical heory. Th is is related to he most essential

philosophical concepts of quantum mechanics.

An increasing amount of evidence has been accu-

mulated indicating that a theoretical description of

certain chemical and physical phenomena cannot be

accomplished by assuming separation of the nuclear

and electronic degrees of freedom. Th ere are several

cases which are known to violate th e BO approximation

due to a strong correlation of the motions of all particles

involved in the system. For these kinds of systems the

BO approxim ation is usually invalid from t he beginning.

Exam ples of such types of behavior of particu lar intere st

to molecular physicist can be found in the following

systems: (1)excited dipole-bo und anionic state s of polar

molecules,

(2)

single and double Rydberg states, (3)

muonic molecules, and

(4)

electron-positronium sys-

tems.

One of the most important problems in modern

quan tum chemistry is to reach "spectroscopic" accuracy

in quan tum mechanical calculations,(Le., error less than

such as gas-phase on-beam spectroscopyreach accuracy

on the order of 0.001 c ~ - ~ . ~ J O uch accuracy is rather

a

number of possibilities have been considered by

different authors. Som e of them will be discussed in

more detail in the next section (section 11). T h e

coordinate transform ation

to

th e CM frame facilitates

separation of the Scbroedinger equation into a set of

uncoupled equations, one representing th e translational

motion of the CM, and the other representing the

internal motion of th e system. T he next ste p following

coordinate transformation consists of variational

so-

lution of the internal eigenvalue problem with a trial

function which possesses appro priate rotational prop-

erties. "Appropriate" rotation al properties include th e

requirement th at th e variational wave function be an

eigenfunction of the 3 operator and its 3,component

for the whole system defined with respectto CM. Some

attempts have been made to solve the nonadiabatic

problem for an arbitrary system following the strategy

outlined above; however, practical realizations have

been so far restricted

to

th e three body problem.

A

slightly different approach has been taken for

diatomic molecules. T he derivationof the nonadiabatic

equations for diatomic molecules involves two steps.

T h e firststep is exactly th e same

as

or th e three-particle

case. T he second step s th e separation of the rotational

coordinates. This separation is accomplished by trans-

forming from t he space-fixed axes to a set of rotating

molecule-fixed axes. T he interna l molecular Ham il-

tonian , which results after removal of the translational

and rotation al coordinates, contains a number of cross-

terms, such as mass polarization terms and terms

coupling differe nt rotation eigenfunctions. T he cross-

term s which appear in the internal H amiltonian couple

the m omenta of the particles which leads

to

a certain

type of correlation of their intern al motions. Th ese

term s are also responsible for the fact th at th e total

l inear momentum and the totalangular mom entum of

the molecule remain constant. In practice further

simplifications are m ade a nd some coupling terms

are

neglected in t he internal Ham iltonian.

Taking into account t he complications resultingfrom

the transform ation of the coordinate system

as

well as

difficulties to preserve appropriate permutational

property of the wave function expressed in terms of

interna l coordinates, we have recently been advancing

an altern ate approach where the separation of the CM

motion was achieved not through transforma tion of th e

coordinate system, but in an effective way by intro-

ducing an additional term into th e variational functional

representing th e kinetic energy of th e CM motion. Our

preliminary nonadiabatic calculations on some three-

and four-particle systems have shown that with this

new method asim ilarlevelof accuracycould be reached

as

in the conventional methods based on explicit

separation of the CM coordinates from the internal

coordinates. T he advantage of this new method is th at

one can easily extend th is approach

to

systems with

more particles due

to

the use of the conventional

Cartesian coordinate system an d explicitly correlated

Gaussian functions in constructing the many-body

nonadiabatic wave function. Also th e required per-

mu tationals ym me tryofthe wave functioncan beeasily

achieved in thi s approach.

In this review we will discuss th e approaches taken

in the past to heoretically describe nonadiabaticmany -

Valldity

Th e Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation for-

mulated in 1927l and a modification, the adiabatic

approximation formulated in 1954,2 lso known as the

Born-Huang (BH ) expansion, constitute two of the

most fundam ental notions in the developm ent of th e

theory of molecular stru ctur e and solid-state physics.

T he approxima tions assume separation of nuclear and

electronic motions. T he BO approximation and adi-

abatic approximation have been stud ied both analyt-

ically and numerically. T he literature concerning this

subject is rather extensive, but some relevant review

articles exist, for example those written by B allhausen

and Hansen,ll Koppel, Dom cke, and Cederbaum,12as

well as Kresin and Lester.13

Before we proceed to nonad iabatic the ory, for clarity

of the p resentation let us first summarize some results

concerning the BO approximation. Th is approximation

can be theoretically derived with th e use of perturbation

theory, where the perturbation is the kinetic energy

operator for the nuclear motion. It is commonly

accepted th at th e BO approximation should be based

on the fact th at th e m ass of the electron is small in

comparison to the mass of the nuclei. In the pertur-

bation appro ach to th e BO separation of th e electronic

and nuclear motion, the perturbation parameter is

assumed to be K = (me/A4)1/4,1J3J5here M is the mass

of largest nuclei. T he total Hamiltonian sep arates as

(2.1)

Th e choice of th e perturbation parameter is not unique,

since only the mag nitude of K is taken in to consideration

in this expansion rather tha n its accurate value. This

parameter can be also taken as the ratio K = (me/p)'I4,

where

p

denotes the reduced mass of the nuclei.36

A

different derivation of the BO separation of

electronic and nuclear motion was presen ted by Essen.14

The main idea of Essen's work was to introduce

coordina tes of collective an d individual mo tions instead

of nuclear and electronic coordinates. H e demon strated

th at the size of m e/M is irrelevant and t ha t the n ature

of th e Coulomb interactions betw een particles involved

in a system rather than their relative masses is

responsible for th e separation. Practical realization of

some aspects presented in Essen's paper was proposed

by Monkhorst16 n conjunction w ith the coupled-cluster

method. Monkho rst reexamined the BO approximation

and th e BH expansion with explicit separation of the

CM , which was omitted in th e original pape r of B orn

and Oppenheim er. An interesting stu dy of the BO

approximation for (mlM)1/2- was carried out by

Grelland.16 In another recent study, which supports

the original Essen's idea, Witkowski17 dem onstra ted

th at a more appropriate separation param eter should

be the difference in energy levels rather th an the mass

ratio.

Th e simplest way of deriving the BO approximation

results from the B H expansion, called also the adiabatic

R = Ro+ K4PN

approximation. In the adiabatic approximation2 the

total H amiltonian,

(2.3)

only parametrically d epen dent on th e nuclear positions,

is assumed to be known. In the above equation

r

and

R

denote the sets of the electronic and nuclear

coordinates respectively. T he eigenvalue problem with

the Hamiltonian of eq 2.2

EP(r,R)

(2.4)

can be obtained in terms of the following B H expansion

W , R ) = Ex,(R)+,(r;R) (2.5)

which leads to th e following set of equa tions

Th e nonadiabatic operator An is given by

(2.6)

(2.7)

where [PN,$ ] denotes th e comm utator. An approx-

imation of eq 2.6 can be created by neglecting the

nonadiabatic operators on the right-hand side. This

leads to the result

(2.8)

which constitutes the BO approxim ation.

T he non adiabatic coupling operator has the following

interpretation: the diagonal part represents the cor-

rection to the potential energy resulting from the

coupling between the electronic and nuclear motions

within th e same electronic stat e, the off-diagonal par t

represents th e same effect bu t occurring with transition

to different electronic states. It is well known that

neglecting such terms can be invalid for some cases.

One of such cases occurs whe n electronic and vibration al

levels are close together or cross each other. Th is may

lead to behavior known as the Jahn-Teller, Renner, or

Hertzbeg-Teller effects and is comm only called mul-

tistate vibronic coupling.12 In order to theoretically

describe a system which exhibits this effect, one usually

expands th e wave function as a product of the electronic

and nuclear wave functions, and th en solves he vibronic

equation. Usually, only a few electronic state s need to

be taken into consideration in this approach. Th e above

short review of th e BO and B H ap proxim ations clearly

shows why the

BH

expansion is the preferred method

to trea t systems with vibronic coupling. Th e coupling

matrix elements can be usually easily calculated nu-

merically with the use of the procedure developed to

calculate gradients and Hessian on PE S.

Much more difficult from the theoretical point of

view are cases when the Born-Oppenheimer approx-

imation is invalid from the beginning, Le., when the

coupling matrix elements Anm(R) re large for more

Such types of behavior can be foun d, for example, for

some exotic systems containin g mesons

or

other light

particles and in certain nonrigid m olecules such as Hs+.

In such cases a B H expansion slowly converges,or even

diverges. Th e variational rather t ha n perturbational

approach is more appropriate for such cases. Th e

application of the nonadiabatic variational approach

leads to a wave function w here all particles involved in

the system are trea ted equivalently an d are delocalized

in th e space. Correlation of the motion s of particles is

most effectively achieved by including explicitly the

interparticle distances in the variational wave function.

cross term p1*p2/M1,which is proportional to VyVj,

represents so-called “mass polarization” which results

from the nonorthogonality of the new coordinates.

Instead of the nonorthogonal transformation one can

use an orthogonal which, however, leads to a

more complicated expression for the interaction part

of the Hamiltonian. It should be mentioned tha t the

choice of the c oordinates given by eqs

3.13

and

3.14

is

not unique. Ma ny different coordinates have been

proposed to treat th e three-particle problem. T he most

popular coordinates used for such calculations have

been th e Jacobi a nd mass-scaled Jacobi coordinates2931

and the hyperspherical

coordinate^.^^

Following Poshusta’s22 omenclature, each s tationary

stat e of th e total Ham iltonian, Hb t, can be labeled by

n(k ,J ,M,a) , here n counts th e energy levels from the

bottom of the k,

,M,a)

symm etry manifold. Th e above

symbols have the following interpretations: transla -

tional symmetry preserves conservation of the linear

momentum which is indicated by

k;

otational sym-

metry ab out th e CM leads to conservation of the ang ular

mom entum which is indicated by

J

and

M

( J and

M

represent the fact th at th e variational wave function is

an eigenfunction of the sq uare of the an gular mom en-

tum operator and its

z

component); the last term, a,

represents the permutational properties

of

the wave

function.

In th e variational approach t o solving the internal

eigenvalue problem, the choice of an appropriate trial

wave function represents a difficult problem. One can

expect th at th e most approp riate guess for the internal

variational wave function should explicitly depend on

interp article distances since motions of all particles are

correlated due to th e C oulombic interaction an d due to

the conservation of the total angular mom entum. Th ere

are different varieties of such functions. In the m ajority

of three-particle applications the Hylleraas functions

were used.l8124~~7~~8~32133hese functions correctly de-

scribe the Coulom b singularities and reproduce the cus p

behavior of the wave function related to particle

collisions. Ano ther type of function used in calculations

has been Gaussian f ~ n c t i o n s ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~hich less properly

reflect the nature of th e Coulombic singularities bu t

are much easier in com putational implementation. Th e

choice of th e variational function s will be discussed in

detail in the next section.

Higher rotational nonadiabatic states can be calcu-

lated by using variational wave functions with appro-

priate rotational symmetries corresponding to the

irreducible representation of rotation groups in the

three-dimension space. (Th is can be accomplished with

th e use of Wigner rotational matrices.) T he rotation

properties of three-particle n onadiab atic wave functions

have been recently extensively studied for muonic

molecules in co njunction with mu on-catalyz ed fusion.34

Finally, one should mention th at th e extremely high

level of accuracy th at ha s been achieved in the las t few

years in nona diabatic calculations a s well as in exper-

imental measurements on three-particle systems has

already allowed testing of th e limits of the Schroedinger

coincide exactly with the center for the rotation.

Nonadiabatic effects are incorporated by appropriate

Many-Particle Systems

This subsection is devoted t o nonadiabatic studies

of polyatomic systems. We would like to distinguish

two aspects of thi s problem; the first one is related t o

the development of theory and th e second pertains to

practical realizations. Some general aspects have been

presented in th e first par t of this section. One of the

most con structive nonadiabatic view of m olecules and

critical discussion of the BO approximation has been

presented by Essen.14 The starting point for his

consideration was the virial theorem which, following

Wooley’s e arlier s t ~ d y , ~lays an essential role in

understand ing the natu re of molecular systems. Essen

dem onstrated a qu ite original view on molecules. This

view was later extensively analyzed by M0nkh0rst.l~

Let us use an excerpt from Monkhorst’s paper:

Invoking only the virial theorem for Cou-

lombic forces and treating all particles on

an equal footing, a molecule according to

Essen ca n be viewed as an ag gregate of nea rly

neutral subsystems (“atoms”) th at interact

weakly (“chemical bonds”) in some spatial

arrangement (“molecular structure”). No

adiabatic hypothesis is mad e, and the anal-

ysis should hold for all bound states.

According to E ssen’s work, the motion of a particle

in the m olecule consists of thre e inde pend ent motions:

(1) he translationa l motion of the m olecule as a whole,

(2 )

th e collective motion of the neu tral subsystem , and

(3 ) the individual, internal motion in each “atom”.

Individual motions of electrons and nuclei are not

considered. T he above classification allowed him to

express coordinates of any particle in th e m olecule as

ri

=

R

+ r ) + r; (3.29)

where

R

defines the position of the m olecular CM w ith

respect to a stationary coordinate system, and ~ i )

a

f

particle

i

belongs to the a th composite subsystem.

The vector

r:

is the CM vector of the subsystem y

relative to the molecular CM, while ri is the internal

position of th e particle i relative to CMof the subsystem

to which it belongs. Essen’s work provides an essen tial

conceptual study of the BO approximation.

T o demonstrate some practical aspects of Essen’s

theory, discussed also by Monkhorst,15 et us consider

an N-particle system. In principle, one can reduce the

N-body problem to an (N 1)-body problem by th e

CM elimination which is easily achieved by coo rdinate

transforma tion as described before. In all approach es

the transform ed include coordinates of the C M vector,

&M. Th e remaining coordinates of the set are internal

coordinates that can be defined, for example, with

respect to CM as

p i =

ri

- R,M i = 1,2,...,N) (3.30)

How ever, since

(3.31)

the coordinates p i , . ., p

N,&M)

are linearly depen dent.

One can avoid the linear dependence between internal

coordinates by defining them with respect to any one

of the

N

particles as suggested by Girardeau47

(3.32)

Th is is an extension of coordina te transform ation used

for three-particle systems. T he set also includes the

position vector of CM, &M. There are still other

coordinate sets that can be used, for example poly-

spherical coordinate^.^^.

One can recognize th at th e discussed transform ations

are particular cases of eq

3.4. it

is rather easy to

dem onstrate tha t the Hamiltonian expressed in terms

of the new coordinates is still invariant under trans-

lational and orthogonal transformations of those co-

ordinates. However, it is not easy to see th at permu-

tational invariance

is

maintained. Th is is due to the

fact, tha t the space-fixed Hamiltonian contains inverse

effective mass, and th e particular form of

f j j

depends

on the choice of

U. It

should be mentioned also, th at

the Hamiltonian after transformation has

it is usually difficult to in terpret it in

simple particle terms.

Another interesting nonadiabatic approach to m ul-

tiparticle systems known as the generator coordinate

method (GCM) has been proposed by L athouwers and

van L e u ~ e n . ~ ~ ~ ~he main idea of the GCM m ethod is

replacement of the nucleus coordinates in the BO

electronic wave function by so called generator coor-

dinates. Th e GCM represents conceptually an impor-

ta nt approach in breaking with the BO approximation,

unfortunately with little computational realization.

Finally, let us point out some common features of

the nonadiabatic theory with the theory of highly

excited rovibrational states, the theory of floppy

molecules, th e theory of m olecular collisions, and the

dynamics of van der W aals complexes.45 T he sta rting

where the first term , expressed in terms of 3N nuclear

coordinates, represents the kinetic energy, while the

second term represents the potential hypersurface.

Analogous to the nonadiabatic approaches discussed

before, the separation of the translational degrees of

freedom is accomplished by a coordinate transforma-

tion. Th e new internal coordinates are translation

free.&?&T he second step involves transformation from

the space-fixed coordinates to body-fixed coordinates.

After such a transform ation t he intern al wave function,

which is dependen t on the 3 N - 6 translationally and

rotationally invariant coordinates, is usually determined

in a variational calculation. Th is wave function rep-

resents the in ternal vibrational motion of the m olecule.

The selection of an appropriate coordinate system

representa one of the m ost difficult theoretical pro blems

in atte m pts to solve eq 3.24. (T he relevant discussion

on this subject can be found in ref 46.)

I V. Nonadiabatic Many-Bod y Wave Function

In t he following section we will discuss an exam ple

of how, in practice, a nonadiabatic calculation on

N-particle system can be accomplished. From the

general considerations presented in the previous section

one can expect tha t the many-body nonadiabatic wave

function should fulfill the following conditions:

(1)

All

particles involved in the system should be treated

equivalently. (2) Correlation of the motions of all the

particles in the system resulting from Coulombic

interactions a s well as from t he required conservation

of the total linear and angular momenta should be

explicitly incorporated in the wave function. (3)

Particles can be distinguished only via the permu ta-

tional symm etry.

(4)

he tota l wave function should

possess the internal and translational sym metry prop-

erties of th e system. 5 ) For fixed positions of nuclei

the wave functions should become equivalent to what

one obtain s within the Born-Oppenheim er approxi-

mation. (6) The wave function should be an eigen-

function of the appropriate total spin and angular

momentum operators.

The most general expansion which can facilitate

fulfillment of the above conditions has the form

where

wp

and e& represent the spatial and spin

com ponents respectively. In the above expansion, we

schematically indicate that each w,, should possess

appropriate perm utational pro perties, which is accom-

plished via an appropriate form of the permutation

operator

P(1,2,

..m.T he tota l wave function should

be also an eigenfunction of the

s

nd

sZ

pin operators

which is accomplished by an appr opriate form of th e

spin wave function e&.

Different functional bases have been proposed for

nonadiab atic calculations on three-body systems, how-

ever extension to m any particles h as been difficult for

the following reason: Due to the na ture of the Cou-

lombic two-body interactions the spatial correlation

should be included exp licitly in the w ave function, Le.,

interparticle distances should be incorporated in the

basis functions. Unfortunately,

for

most types of

explicitly correlated wave function s the resulting many-

electron integrals are u sually difficult to evaluate. An

exception is the basis set of explicitly correlated

Gaussian geminals which contain products of two

Gaussian orbitals an d a correlation factor of th e form

exp(-pr:.). Th ese func tions were introd uced by Boysm

and Singer.61 T he correlation p art effectively creates

a Coulom b hole,Le., reduces or enhances the am plitude

of th e wave function when two particles approach one

another. T he application of the explicitly correlated

Gaussian gem inals is not as effective as other types of

correlated function s due to a rather poor representation

of the cusp. How ever, such functions form a ma the-

matically complete set,52 nd a ll required integrals have

closed forms as was demonstrated by Lester and

K r a u ~ s . ~ ~uring the last three decades explicitly

correlated Gaussian geminals have been successfully

applied to different problems as, for example, in the

calculations of th e correlation energy for some closed-

shell atoms and m olecules, intermolec ular interaction

potentials, polarizabilities, Com pton p rofiles, and elec-

tron- scatte ring cross sections.-l Explicitly correlated

Gaussian geminals were also applied to minimize the

second-order energy functional in the perturbation

calculation of the electronic correlation energy . Fir st,

Pan and demonstrated tha t rather short ex-

pansions with approp riate minimizations of nonlinear

parameters lead to very accurate results for atoms. Th e

same idea was later extended to m olecular systems by

Adamow icz and Sadlej.63-69We should also mention a

ser ie s of pape rs by Monkhors t and c o - w ~ r k e r s ~ ~ ' ~here

explicitly correlated Gaussian geminals were used in

conjunction with the second-order pertur bation theory

and t he coupled cluster method.

In the remainder of this section we would like to

describe an application of the explicitly correlated

Gaussian-type functions to nonadiabatic calculations

on a mu ltiparticle system. T he explicitly correlated

Gaussian functions form a convenient basis set for

multiparticle nonadiabatic calculations because, due

to the separability of the squared coordinates, the

integrals over Gaussian functions are relatively easy to

evaluate. As a consequence, one can afford to use a

larger number of these functions in the basis set than

in cases of explicitly corr elated fun ction s of othe r types.

the next subsection.

T he angular depend ence of G aussian functions can

be achieved explicitly through the use of spherical

harmonics, or equivalently through the use of integer

powers of the approp riate Cartesian coordinates. In

additionally integrate the

be evaluated for an arbitrary num ber of particles. It is

important to notice tha t by determining the G function,

the multiparticle integral is reduced to an integral tha t

contains Gaussian geminals instead of the N-particle

Gaussian cluster functions. T he integration over all

So far considerations have been restricted to spherical

higher angular momenta we applied th e procedure

which is based on the observation that the Cartesian

factors in the function can be gen erated by consecutive

differentiations of th e s-typ e Gaussian function with

respect to the coordinates of the orbital centers. This

leads to a direct generalization of th e integral algorithms

derived for the s-type cluster functions to algorithm s

for the C artesian cluster functions. Th is involves

Effecflve NonadlabatlcMethod

Th e nonadiabatic wave function expanded in terms

of G aussian cluster functions has been used by Posh usta

and co-workers in nonadiaba tic calculations of th ree

particle systems.22 The treatment was recently ex-

te nd ed t o fo ur p a r t i ~ l e s . ~ ~oshusta’s approach has

been based on the separation of the CM motion from

the internal motion through transformation to the CM

coordinate system. In our recent work we have taken

a different approach which has been based on an

effective rather than explicit separation of the CM

motion. T o dem onstrate the essential points of this

approach, let us

consider an N-particle system with

Coulomb nteractions. T he particle masses and charges

are

In our calculations the value for

k

has been selected

based on the accuracy we wanted to achieve in deter-

mining the internal energy of the system. Th e approach

based on m inimizing the ex pectation value of TCM ill

be called method I in our further discussion.

There is an alternative scheme to nonadiabatic

calculation which we will call method

11.

Let

us

examine

the case when the tz parameter is set to

-1

in eq

5.5.

T h e

functional becomes

(5.6)

Th e full optimization effort can now be directed solely

to improving the intern al energy of the system because

the functional eq

5.6

now contains only the internal

Ham iltonian. One can expect that after optimization

the variationa l wave function w ill be a sum of products

of the integral ground state and wave functions rep-

resenting different states of the CM motion:

(5.7)

However, since the internal H amiltonian only acts on

the inte rnal wave function, the variational functional,

J[\ktot;-ll, becomes

with according to the variational principle is

min(J[\k,,;-l])

I Eint

5.9)

Therefore in method

11,

by minimization of the func-

tional eq 5.6, one obtains directly an upper b ound to

the inte rnal energy of the system. In this case the

kinetic energy of th e CM m otion is not minimized.

In the above considerations we demonstrated t ha t

the internal energy can be separated from the total

energy of the system without a n explicit transform ation

to the CM coordinate system. This is an impo rtant

point since an inapprop riate elimination of the C M can

lead to so-called "spourus" states,44which in tu rn lead

to contradictory results in nonadiabatic calculations.

T he last element which we would like to dem onstrate

is that t he variational wave function in the form eq 4.2

can be formally separate d into a produc t of an in ternal

wave function an d a wave function of th e CM m otion.

This is mandatory for any variational nonadiabatic wave

function in order to provide required separability of

the intern al and external degrees of freedom. T o

demo nstrate this let us consider an N-particle system

with masses

ml,m2,...,m~.

An example of a wave

function for this system which separates to a product

of the internal and external components is

The main idea of the above methodology rests in

treating nonadiabatically theN -partic le problem in the

Cartesian space without reducing it to an N- 1)-particle

problem by explicit separation of the CM motion. One

can ask what advantage does this approach have in

comparison to th e conventional one? One clear ad-

vantage is th at we avoid selecting an internal coordinate

system-a procedure th at is not unique and may lead

to certain ambiguities. T he work in the C artesian space

makes the physical picture more intuitive and the

required multiparticle integrals are much easier to

evaluate. Thos e two feature s certainly are not present

if

more complicated coordinate systems such as in

polyspherical coordinate^^^ are used. Also, we note d

earlier th at th e other factor which should be taken into

consideration is the proper "ansatz" for the trial

variational wave function incorporating the required

permutational symmetry. In our approach the appro-

priate perm utational symm etry is easy to implem ent

through direct exchange of th e particles in the o rbital

factors and th e correlation components. Th is task,

however, can be complicated when one works with a

transformed coordinate system. Th e last problem

which should be taken into consideration re lates to the

rotational p roperties of the wave function. Definitions

of the app ropria te rotational operators in terms of the

Cartesian coordinates are straightforward . How ever,

in a transformed coordinate system the operators

representing the rotation of the system about its CM

can be complicated and may lead to significant diffi-

culties in calculating the required matrix elements.

Although, there is certainly not m uch

chemical interes t in these systems, they cons titute ideal

cases to verify the performance on non adiabatic m eth-

odologies. T he nonrelativistic qua ntu m mechanics for

positronium system is exactly the same as for the

hydrogen atom , except the value of reduced m ass. The

positronium system (e+e-) s strongly nonadiab atic and

represents an excellent simple test case since its

nonrelativistic ground-state energy can be determined

exactly ( E , =

-0.25

au). Contrary to the hydrogen atom,

the Born-Oppenheimer approximations cannot be used.

In th e method we have developed the nonadiabatic

wave function for the positronium system depend s on

all six Cartesian coordinates of the electron and the

positron as well as on their sp in coordinates. For

numerical calculations the following fourteen-term

variational wave function was used:

(6.1)

T he minimization of the variational functional eq

5.5

was performed with different values of k. Th e results

of the calculations are summarized in Table

I.

Upon exam ining num erical values

i t

seems tha t both

methods

I

and

I1

provide similar results in close

agreement with the exact value mainly dependent on

the length of the expansion of the wave function.

However, for the same expansion length, Method I1

seems to perform better and converge faster.

As the second example, let us consider the quadro-

nium system composed of two electrons and two

positrons. T he complete nonrelativistic Ham iltonian

the

positrons, respectively. Similar to the positronium case

no approximation can be made with regard to the

separability of the internal motions of the particles.

The standard approach to find the nonadiabatic

solution is based on sep aration of th e center-of-mass

motion from the internal motion as described in th e

section

1II.A.

Introducing internal coordinates as the

position vectors of thre e particles with respect to th e

fourth particle chosen as th e reference, the four-particle

problem can be reduced to the problem of three

fictitious pseudoparticles. As discussed before, after

transformation to the new coordinates, the internal

Ham iltonian contains additional terms known as mass

polarization terms, which arise due to the nonortho-

r2A r2B

gonality of th e new coordinates. Using th e above

transformation Kinghorn and Poshusta'g carried out

nonadiab atic variational calculations with S inger poly-

mass basis set functions. T he Singer polymass basis

positrons and the electrons.

Since in our approach no explicit separation of the

center of mass is required, the quadronium system is

represented by the wave function which explicitly

depe nds on coo rdinates of all particles:

Optimization of the fun ctional has been performed

Gaussian functions. T he numerical conjugate grad ient

optimization technique was employed. T o indicate the

exten t of th e optim ization effort involved, it suffices to

say that , for example, for the wave function expanded

into a series of 300 Gaussian functions one needs to

optimize as many as 3000 exponential parameters. T he

results of the calculations are presented in Table

11.

For all the expansion lengths considered, the opti-

mizations were quite well converged, although with a

large num ber of nonlinear param eters, one can almost

never be sure whether a local or global minimum was

reached or whether som e more optimization w ould lead

to further improvement of the results. Upon examining

the convergence of th e results w ith elongation of th e

expansion, one sees that the values of the bonding

energy are quite well converged. Our best result for

the total energy (-0.515 980 a ~ ) ~ ~s very close to the

best result of Kinghorn a nd Po shus ta (-0.515 977 au).

It

should be mentioned t ha t both results are rigorously

variational. Bo th energies lead to virtually identical

to the dissociation into two isolated

T he other im portant question one may ask is how

satisfactory results for a few particle systems? T o

dem onstra te this we performed a series of calculations

for a sequence of simple system s, H, H2+and Hz. T h e

results are in Table IV.

Notice that with a short expansion we almost

reproduced the exact nonrelativistic energy for the

hydrogen atom.

It

takes only about 16Gaussian cluster

functions to lower the energy below -0.59 au for the

we did calculations with 16, 28, 56, and 105 cluster

least 300 or more to obtain a result of comparable

accuracy as the one achieved for Hz+. T he nonadiabatic

HD+ Molecular

I o n

Th e hydrogen m olecular ion HD + has played an

important role in development of molecular quantum

mechanics. Ma ny different methods have been tested

on HD+. Since the interelectronic interaction is not

present, very accurate numerical results could be

obtained. One of the mo st accurate nonadiabatic

calculations was performed by Bishop and co -w ~ rk er s . ~ ~

Bishop in his calculations used the following basis

functions expressed in term s of elliptical coordinates

with R being the nuclear separation:

are adjustable parameters chosen to minimize

the lowest energy level; and i, j nd k are integers. The

energy obtained using this expansion was

squares of interparticular distances. T he HD + system

should possess slight asymmetry in the values for

I.;,) and

(

rke) eading to a perm anent dipole mom ent.

There is a simple reason for the asymmetry of the

electronic distribution in HD+. For deuterium, the

reduced mass and binding energy are slightly larger,

and the corresponding wave function sm aller, than for

hydrogen. Th is leads to the contribution of th e ionic

structu re H+D - being slightly larger th an t ha t of H-D+,

and in affect to a n et m oment H+6Dd. T he values of

( ,),

( r t e ) ,

and for the wave functions of

different lengths are presented in Table VI and indicate

th at th e electron shift toward th e deuterium nucleus

is correctly predicted in this approach.

Many-Body Wave Function

The recent remarkable progress in theoretical eval-

uation of structures a nd p roperties of molecular systems

has been mainly due to th e developm ent of analytical

derivative techniques. These techniques allow not only

for very fast an d effective determination of equilibrium

geometries,but

also

allow optimization s of th e nonlinear

param eters involved in the basis functions. Th is

represents the next important element in the devel-

opment of our nonadiabatic methodology. Th e problem

which arises in minimization of the variational func-

tional, as indicated the last section summary, is the

num ber of nonlinear param eters in the wave function

which should be optimized. Th is number increases very

rapidly with the length of the expansion and the

optimization procedure becomes very expensive.

Kozlowski and Adamowlcz

In our initial calculations we used a two-step opti-

mization procedure. For a given basis set defined by

the se t of nonlinear param eters we solved th e stand ard

secular equation,

H,,C

=

SCE, (Hi,&

=

SCE,

in the

case of method

11)

to determine the optimal linear

coefficients. Then we used the numerical conjugate

gradient method to find the optimal set of nonlinear

param eters. In this section we will show how the

analytically determ ined first a nd second derivatives of

the variational functional with respect to the orbital

and correlation expon ents have been incorporated into

our procedure.

Let X(xl,

x 2 ,

...,

x,)

be the n-dimensional vector of

nonlinear parameters,

i.e.,

both o rbital and correlation

exponents. T he Taylor expansion of the variational

functional about point

X*

can be obtained as follows:

or, in the matrix form (the expansion is truncated after

the quadratic term)

J[X;kl

=

J[X*;kI + vJIX;kl(Tx,(X X*)

+

l ( X

-

X*)THIx,(X X

*)

(7.2)

2

where HI,* denotes the Hessian evaluated at the X*

point. A t a stationary point th e gradient becomes equal

to zero,

VJ[X;kllz*

= 0. If the expansion (eq

2.11)

is

dominated by the linear and quadratic terms and th e

Hessian matrix is positive defined, then one can use

the approximate quadratic expression to find the

minimum of the functional (Newton-Raph son m ethod):

Xmin=

-(H(X)Jx~)- (VJ[X;~lIx~)

7.3)

Le t us consider the fir st and second derivatives of the

functional

J [ { O ~ ~ J , ( / ~ ~ ~ } ; ~ I

ith respect to an arbitrary

parameter

4.

Th e first derivative is formulated a s

where 4 can be a;

or B ,.

The second derivative of

energy with respect to and { can be obtained in a

similar way

As was mention ed ab ove, the s et of linear coefficients

is obtained by solving th e secular equation. In the case

of the me thod I, this set is not optimal with respect to

the variational functional J , because

J

contains an

additional term k(\klTc~I*)which is not present in

the secular equation. However, the s et becomes optimal

if

k

is equal to zero,

or

when th e kinetic energy of the

center of mass motion vanishes. Therefo re, the sm aller

the

(*JTc&)

term is, the m ore fulfilled the condition

(7.6)

-J[{4,{@Pq1;kI

c,

=

should become.

In method I1 the solution of the secular equation

implies that the above equation (eq 7.6) is exactly

satisfied at each step of th e minimization process. To

mak e th e above equations more explicit let us consider

matrix elements with the function given previously

where

6 = Hbt,

TCM,r 1. T he derivative with respect

to [ k is

a

-(*k(61*)

=

atk

where we assumed th at t he linear coefficients are fixed

and their derivativeswith respect toGaussian exponents

are zero (this is exactly satisfied in method

11).

For

the first derivative one needs

to

consider two

cases: the first derivative w ith respect to an orbital

exponent and with respect to a correlation exponent.

For t he second derivative one needs to consider three

cases. T he first one corresponds to the second deriv-

ative with respect to two orbital exponents. T he second

is the case of a m ixed derivative with respect t o orbital

and correlation exponents. T he third is th e derivative

with respect to two correlation exp onents. For some

integrals these three categories do not exhaust all the

possibilities and some more specific cases need to be

considere d. Details of th e eval uatio n of those special

cases can be found in our previous study.&*M

Upon examining the d at a one can see good conver-

gence of the results to the best literature value of

-0.597 897 967 au.43 Th e calculations on HD + have

shown that t he N ewton-Raphson procedure is signif-

icantly faster an d m ore efficient th an t he numerical

optimization.

The above presented theory of first and second

analytical derivative represents an important devel-

opm ent in practical implementation

of

our nonadiabatic

methodology. T he optimization procedure based on

analytical derivatives facilitates relatively fast calcu-

lations with long basis function expansions.

V I I I . Future Directions

T he presented review of nonad iabatic approaches for

molecules shows that the level of complexity in cal-

culations grows dramatically when the number of

particles increases. In our nonadiabatic ap proach we

accomplished som e simplification of the many-body

nonadiabatic problem by retaining the Cartesian co-

ordinate frame rather than transformation of the

problem t o the CM coordinate frame. In this approach

we gain a unique insight into the quan tum state of the

molecule without making any approximations with

regard to th e separability of th e nuclear and electronic

motions.

T he nonad iabatic corrections are usually very small

for molecular systems and exceptions are rare. A

meaningful nonadiabatic calculation should be very

accurate.

By

undertaking th e effort of developing the

"technology" of Gaussian cluster functions for non-

adiabatic calculations, we believe th at we can accom -

plish the required level of accuracy and successfully

extend the nonadiabatic treatment beyond three-

particle systems. One of the most importa nt directions

seems to be derivation and implementation of the first-

and seco nd-order derivatives of Gauss ian cluster func-

tions with respect to exponential parameters. Th e

preliminary results are encouraging. T he algorithm of

the m ethod based on the New ton-Raphson optimiza-

tion sc heme and analytical derivatives is very well suited

for a parallel com puter system and such an im plemen-

tation will be pursued.

Several "even tempering" procedures exist for gen-

erating Gaussian orbital expon ents and there a re a few

for generating Gaussian correlation exponents for

corre lated electronic wave functions. An even-tem -

pered procedure is also possible in our approach;

however, the situation here is significantly more com-

plicated due to the fact th at th e particles presented by

the correlated wave function can have different m asses

and charges. Th e development of an even-tempered

procedure will allow us to greatly reduce t he expense

of the parameter optimization effort and, in conse-

quence, will allow treatm ent of larger systems.

T he above formula has an interesting feature. Notice

th at the second derivative is expressed in term s of the

overlap integral, its first derivatives, and the second

contains orbital and correlation exponents. T he second

derivatives of oth er integrals have a similar structure .

This facilitates an efficient and transpare nt com puter

implementation of t he derivative algorithms tha t has

been accom plished recently.&

To illustrate the performance of the optimization

method on the firs t and second analytical derivatives,

we performed v ariational nonadiab atic calculations on

the

HD+

molecule. For this system we used the

following variational wave function:

In eq 7.14,8(D),8 ( H) , and e( e) are spin functions for

th e deuteron, proton, and electron respectively. We

assumed that spin coupling between particles is neg-

ligible. The

HD+

wave function does not possess any

permutational symmetry with respect to exchange of

particles. In our study we performed calculations with

different number

of

Gaussian basis functions. The

values of internal energies obtained using Newton-

Raphson optimization technique are the sam e as the

ones from numerical optimization, however they are

obtained much faster.
