Probing electronic fluxes via time-resolved x-ray scattering

G Hermann, V Pohl, G Dixit, JC Tremblay - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS

electrons flow in a system out of equilibrium. In this work, we unequivocally demonstrate that …

Quantum theory of concerted electronic and nuclear fluxes associated with adiabatic intramolecular processes

T Bredtmann, DJ Diestler, SD Li, J Manz… - Physical Chemistry …, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
An elementary molecular process can be characterized by the flow of particles (ie, electrons
and nuclei) that compose the system. The flow, in turn, is quantitatively described by the flux …

Multidirectional angular electronic flux during adiabatic attosecond charge migration in excited benzene

G Hermann, CM Liu, J Manz, B Paulus… - The Journal of …, 2016 - ACS Publications

Electronic flux density beyond the Born–Oppenheimer approximation

A Schild, F Agostini, EKU Gross - The Journal of Physical …, 2016 - ACS Publications
In the Born–Oppenheimer approximation, the electronic wave function is typically real-
valued and hence the electronic flux density (current density) seems to vanish. This is …

Time-dependent electronic current densities in chiral molecules

Remarks on the validity of the fixed nuclei approximation in quantum electron dynamics

IS Ulusoy, M Nest - The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2012 - ACS Publications
In this paper we report quantum dynamical simulations that test the fixed nuclei
approximation, which is usually invoked in ab initio correlated electron dynamics. We do so …
