Semiclassical approximations for the calculation of thermal rate constants for chemical reactions in complex molecular systems
摘要:
Two different semiclassical approaches are presented for extending flux correlation function methodology for computing thermal reaction rate constants, which has been extremely successful for the "direct" calculation of rate constants in small molecule(3–4atoms)reactions, to complex molecular systems, i.e., those with many degrees of freedom. First is the popular mixed quantum-classical approach that has been widely used by many persons, and second is an approximate version of the semiclassical initial value representation that has recently undergone a rebirth of interest as a way for including quantum effects in molecular dynamics simulations. Both of these are applied to the widely studied system-bath model, a one-dimensional double well potential linearly coupled to an infinite bath of harmonic oscillators. The former approximation is found to be rather poor while the latter is quite good.
