ポテンシャルエネルギー曲面の交差構造に関する理論的研究

抄録

The crossing of potential energy surfaces plays an important role in photo-decay processes and photochemical reactions. The energies and geometries of the crossing points have been reported for various molecules using quantum chemical calculations. In this research, excitation energy components of uracil are investigated to understand the characteristics of the crossing points. We revealed that the HOMO−LUMO exchange integral becomes approximately zero at the minimum energy conical intersection between S₀ and S₁ states. Furthermore, it was found that the HOMO−LUMO gap is close to the HOMO−LUMO Coulomb integral at the crossing structures.
