英文摘要：

The representation of the potential energy surfaces of atom molecule or molecular dimers interactions should account faithfully for the symmetry properties of the systems, preserving at the same time a compact analytical form. To this aim, the choice of a proper set of coordinates is a necessary precondition. Here we illustrate a description in terms of hyperspherical coordinates and the expansion of the intermolecular interaction energy in terms of hypersherical harmonics, as a general method for building potential energy surfaces suitable for molecular dynamics simulations of van der Waals aggregates. Examples for the prototypical case diatomic molecule diatomic molecule interactions are shown.

Classical threshold law for the formation of van der Waals molecules

We study the role of pairwise long-range interactions in the formation of van der Waals molecules through direct three-body recombination processes A + B + B $\rightarrow$ AB + B, based on a classical trajectory method in hyperspherical coordinates developed in our earlier works [J. Chem. Phys. 140, 044307 (2014); J. Chem. Phys. 154, 034305 (2021)]. In particular, we find the effective long-range potential in hyperspherical coordinates with an exact expression in terms of dispersion coefficients of pairwise potentials. Exploiting this relation, we derive a classical threshold law for the total…

On the formation of van der Waals complexes through three-body recombination

In this work, we show that van der Waals molecules X-RG (where RG is the rare gas atom) may be created through direct three-body recombination collisions, i.e., X + RG + RG $\rightarrow$ X-RG + RG. In particular, the three-body recombination rate at temperatures relevant for buffer gas cell experiments is calculated via a classical trajectory method in hyperspherical coordinates [J. Chem. Phys. 140, 044307 (2014)]. As a result, it is found that the formation of van der Waals molecules in buffer gas cells (1 K $\lesssim T \lesssim 10$ K) is dominated by the long-range tail (distances larger tha…

Salient Signature of van der Waals Interactions

van der Waals interactions govern the physics of a plethora of molecular structures. It is well known that the leading term in the distance-based London expansion of the van der Waals energy for atomic and molecular dimers decays as $1/R^6$, where $R$ is the dimer distance. Using perturbation theory, we find the leading term in the distance-based expansion of the intracule pair density at the interatomic distance. Our results unveil a universal $1/R^3$ decay, which is less prone to numerical errors than the $1/R^6$ dependency, and it is confirmed numerically in H$_2$ and He$_2$ molecules. This…

Bound -> free and bound -> bound multichannel emission spectra from selectively excited Rydberg states in the ZnAr and CdAr van der Waals complexes

Multichannel dispersed emission spectra recorded upon a selective excitation of Rydberg electronic energy states in the ZnAr and CdAr van der Waals (vdW) complexes are analysed as a proof-of-concept of the future experimental approach. Simulations of the emission spectra are based on ab-initio calculated interatomic potentials and transition dipole moments (TDMs). Experimental set-up that is under construction along with the experimental procedure are discussed.

Van der Waals coefficients for systems with ultracold polar alkali-metal molecules

A systematic study of the leading isotropic van der Waals coefficients for the alkali-metal atom + molecule and molecule + molecule systems is presented. Dipole moments and static and dynamic dipole polarizabilities are calculated employing high-level quantum chemistry calculations. The dispersion, induction, and rotational parts of the isotropic van der Waals coefficient are evaluated. The known van der Waals coefficients are then used to derive characteristics essential for simple models of the collisions involving the corresponding ultracold polar molecules.

Breaking van der Waals molecules with magnetic fields

It is demonstrated that weakly bound van der Waals complexes can dissociate in a magnetic field through coupling between the Zeeman levels. The Zeeman predissociation process is shown to be efficient and it can be controlled by external magnetic fields.

High-precision calculations of van der Waals coefficients for heteronuclear alkali-metal dimers

Van der Waals coefficients for the heteronuclear alkali-metal dimers of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr are calculated using relativistic ab initio methods augmented by high-precision experimental data. We argue that the uncertainties in the coefficients are unlikely to exceed about 1%.

Cold, anisotropically-interacting van der Waals molecule: TiHe

We have used laser ablation and helium buffer-gas cooling to produce the titanium-helium van der Waals molecule at cryogenic temperatures. The molecules were detected through laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. Ground-state Ti-He binding energies were determined for the ground and first rotationally excited states from studying equilibrium thermodynamic properties, and found to agree well with theoretical calculations based on newly calculated ab initio Ti-He interaction potentials, opening up novel possibilities for studying the formation, dynamics, and non-universal chemistry of van der…

Cohesive properties of noble metals by van der Waals-corrected Density Functional Theory

The cohesive energy, equilibrium lattice constant, and bulk modulus of noble metals are computed by different van der Waals-corrected Density Functional Theory methods, including vdW-DF, vdW-DF2, vdW-DF-cx, rVV10 and PBE-D. Two specifically-designed methods are also developed in order to effectively include dynamical screening effects: the DFT/vdW-WF2p method, based on the generation of Maximally Localized Wannier Functions, and the RPAp scheme (in two variants), based on a single-oscillator model of the localized electron response. Comparison with results obtained without explicit inclusion o…

Observation of scalar nuclear spin-spin coupling in van der Waals molecules

Scalar couplings between covalently bound nuclear spins are a ubiquitous feature in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments, imparting valuable information to NMR spectra regarding molecular structure and conformation. Such couplings arise due to a second-order hyperfine interaction, and, in principle, the same mechanism should lead to scalar couplings between nuclear spins in unbound van der Waals complexes. Here, we report the first observation of scalar couplings between nuclei in van der Waals molecules. Our measurements are performed in a solution of hyperpolarized ${\rm ^{129}Xe}$ a…

Trial function optimization for excited states of van der Waals clusters

A method is introduced to optimize excited state trial wave functions. The method is applied to ground and vibrationally excited states of bosonic van der Waals clusters of upto seven particles. Employing optimized trial wavefunctions with three-body correlations, we use correlation function Monte Carlo to estimate the corresponding excited state energies.

Van der Waals interaction in uniaxial anisotropic media

Van der Waals interactions between flat surfaces in uniaxial anisotropic media are investigated in the nonretarded limit. The main focus is the effect of nonzero tilt between the optical axis and the surface normal on the strength of van der Waals attraction. General expressions for the van der Waals free energy are derived using the surface mode method and the transfer-matrix formalism. To facilitate numerical calculations a temperature-dependent three-band parameterization of the dielectric tensor of the liquid crystal 5CB is developed. A solid slab immersed in a liquid crystal experiences a…

Are we van der Waals ready?

We apply a range of density-functional-theory-based methods capable of describing van der Waals interactions to weakly bonded layered solids in order to investigate their accuracy for extended systems. The methods under investigation are the local density approximation, semi-empirical force fields, non-local van der Waals density functionals and the random-phase approximation. We investigate the equilibrium geometries, elastic constants and the binding energies of a large and diverse set of compounds and arrive at conclusions about the reliability of the different methods. The study also point…
