| Abstract: We report fully nonadiabatic calculations of all rotationless bound states of HT$^+$ molecular ion ($t^+ p^+ e^-$) carried out in the framework of the variational method. We show that, in all the states, except the two highest ones, the bond in the system can be described as covalent. In the highest two states the bond becomes essentially ionic and HT$^+$ can be described as a T + H$^+$ complex. The wave function of the system was expanded in terms of spherically symmetric, explicitly correlated Gaussian functions with preexponential multipliers consisting of powers of the internuclear distance. Apart from the total energies of the states, we have calculated the expectation values of the $t-p$, $t-e$, and $p-e$ interparticle distances, their squares, and the nucleus-nucleus correlation functions. | |||||

| Abstract: Variational molecular calculations without assuming the Born--Oppenheimer approximation of states corresponding to zero total angular momentum require the use of spherically symmetric basis functions explicitly depending on the electron--electron, electron--nucleus, and nucleus--nucleus distances. In our calculations, such functions have been the explicitly correlated Gaussians. For molecules with three nuclei, the Gaussians have to be multiplied by powers of all three internuclear distances to describe the highly correlated motion of the nuclei. In this work we have derived formulae for the overlap and the Hamiltonian matrix elements for such basis functions. Implementation of the formulae presents some unconventional numerical difficulties related to maintaining the required precision of the calculation. The implementation problems are discussed. | |||||

| Abstract: Very accurate, rigorous and fully variational, all-particle, non-Born--Oppenheimer calculations of the vibrational spectrum of the H$_2$ molecule have been performed. Very high accuracy has been achieved by expanding the wave functions in terms of explicitly correlated Gaussian functions with preexponential powers of the internuclear distance.

| Abstract: Very accurate non-Born--Oppenheimer variational calculations of the ground state of $e^+$LiH have been performed using explicitly correlated Gaussian functions with preexponential factors dependent on powers of the internuclear distance. In order to determine the positron detachment energy of $e^+$LiH and the dissociation energy corresponding to the $e^+$LiH fragmentation into HPs and Li$^+$ we also calculated non-BO energies of HPs, LiH, and Li$^+$. For all the systems the calculations provided the lowest ever-reported variational upper-bounds to the ground state energies. Annihilation rates of HPs and $e^+$LiH were also computed. The dissociation energy of $e^+$LiH into HPs and Li$^+$ was determined to be 0.036548 hartree. | |||||

| Abstract: We took the complete nonrelativistic Hamiltonians for the LiH and LiH$^-$ systems, as well as their deuterated isotopomers, we separated the kinetic energy of the center of mass motion from the Hamiltonians, and with the use of the variational method we optimized the ground-state nonadiabatic wave functions for the systems expanding them in terms of $n$-particle explicitly correlated Gaussian functions. With 3600 functions in the expansions we obtained the lowest ever ground-state energies of LiH, LiD, LiH$^-$, and LiD$^-$ and these values were used to determine LiH and LiD electrons affinities (EAs) yielding 0.33030 and 0.32713 eV, respectively. The present are the first high-accuracy ab initio quantum mechanical calculations of the LiH and LiD EAs that do not assume the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The obtained EAs fall within the uncertainty brackets of the experimental results. | |||||

| Abstract: In this work we present analytical expressions for Hamiltonian matrix elements with spherically symmetric, explicitly correlated Gaussian basis functions with complex exponential parameters for an arbitrary number of particles. The expressions are derived using the formalism of matrix differential calculus. In addition, we present expressions for the energy gradient that includes derivatives of the Hamiltonian integrals with respect to the exponential parameters. The gradient is used in the variational optimization of the parameters. All the expressions are presented in the matrix form suitable for both numerical implementation and theoretical analysis. The energy and gradient formulas have been programed and used to calculate ground and excited states of the He atom using an approach that does not involve the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. | |||||

| Abstract: Very accurate, rigorous, variational, non-Born-Oppenheimer (non-BO) calculations have been performed for the fully symmetric, bound states of the LiH$^+$ ion. These states correspond to the ground and excited vibrational states of LiH$^+$ in the ground electronic state. The non-BO wave functions of the states have been expanded in terms of spherical $N$-particle explicitly correlated Gaussian functions multiplied by even powers of the internuclear distance and 5600 Gaussians were used for each state. The calculations that, to our knowledge, are the most accurate ever performed for a diatomic system with three electrons have yielded six bound states. Average interparticle distances and nucleus-nucleus correlation function plots are presented. | |||||

| Abstract: In this work we consider explicitly correlated complex Gaussian basis functions for expanding the wave function of an $N$-particle system with the $L$=1 total orbital angular momentum. We derive analytical expressions for various matrix elements with these basis functions including the overlap, kinetic energy, and potential energy (Coulomb interaction) matrix elements, as well as matrix elements of other quantities. The derivatives of the overlap, kinetic, and potential energy integrals with respect to the Gaussian exponential parameters are also derived and used to calculate the energy gradient. All the derivations are performed using the formalism of the matrix differential calculus that facilitates a way of expressing the integrals in an elegant matrix form, which is convenient for the theoretical analysis and the computer implementation. The new method is tested in calculations of two systems: the lowest $P$ state of the beryllium atom and the bound $P$ state of the positronium molecule (with the negative parity). Both calculations yielded new, lowest-to-date, variational upper bounds, while the number of basis functions used was significantly smaller than in previous studies. It was possible to accomplish this due to the use of the analytic energy gradient in the minimization of the variational energy. | |||||

The states correspond to the electron configurations $1 s^2 2 s^1 n p^1$, where $n$=2, 3, 4, and 5. The calculations were performed for both finite and infinite mass of the Be nucleus. The basis set for each state was grown to the level of 5000 Gaussians. With that many functions we achieved a tight energy convergence. The reported values, to the best of our knowledge, are the most accurate ever obtained for the four states. | |||||

The wave functions of the states have been expanded in terms of all-particle explicitly correlated Gaussian basis functions and the finite mass of the nucleus has been explicitly accounted for. Variational upper bounds for the nonrelativistic finite- and infinite-nuclear-mass energies of all considered states have been obtained with the relative convergence of the order of 10$^{-7}$--10$^{-8}$. Expectation values of the powers of the inter-particle distances and Dirac $\delta$ functions depending on those distances have also been computed. These calculations provide reference values that can be used to test other high-level quantum chemistry methods. | |||||

| Abstract: Expanding the wave functions of the ground and excited states of HD$^+$ (or $pde$) in terms of spherically symmetric explicitly correlated Gaussian functions with preexponential multipliers consisting of powers of the internuclear distance, and using the variational method, we performed very accurate nonadiabatic calculations of all bound states of this system corresponding to the zero total angular momentum quantum number (vibrational states; $v$=0-22). The total and the transition energies obtained agree with the best available calculations. For each state we computed the expectation values of the $d-p$, $d-e$, and $p-e$ interparticle distances. This is the first time these quantities were computed for HD$^+$ using rigorous nonadiabatic wave functions. While up to the $v$=20 state some asymmetry is showing in the $d-e$ and $p-e$ distances, for $v$=21 and $v$=22 we observe a complete breakdown of the Born--Oppenheimer approximation and localization of the electron almost entirely at the deuteron. | |||||

| Abstract: Supercomputers and multi--node computer clusters have started to offer cornputer power sufficient to undertake projects in the area of molecular structure calculations that a few years ago were not at all feasible. This particularly applies to very accurate calculations concerning small molecular systems in isolation. In recent years we have carried out development and implementation of methods allowing very accurate quantum mechanical calculations of ground and excited stationary states of molecule--positron systems without assuming the Born--Oppenheimer (BO) approximation regarding the separability of the nuclear, electronic, and positronic motions. In this review we describe the current progress in the area of positron--molecule calculations, we review our approach and show our recent non--BO calculations of the ground state of the e+LiH system, and we mention some of our future projects in this area. | |||||

| Abstract: Complex explicitly correlated one-center all-particle Gaussian functions (CECGs) are tested as basis functions for molecular non-Born--Oppenheimer (non-BO) calculations. The tests concern the complete spectrum of the 23 bound pure vibrational states of the HD$^+$ ion. The tests show that CECGs are very effective in representing both the nuclear-nuclear correlation and the vibrational oscillation of the wave functions in terms of the internuclear distance. This finding is important because it paves the way for high-accuracy non-BO calculations of bound vibrational states of molecules with more than two nuclei that have never been performed before. | |||||

| Abstract: Very accurate electron affinity (EA) calculations of $^6$Li and $^7$Li (and $^\infty$Li) have been performed using explicitly correlated Gaussian functions and a variational approach that explicitly includes the nuclear motion in the calculations (i.e., the approach that does not assume the Born--Oppenheimer approximation). The leading relativistic and quantum electrodynamics corrections to the electron affinities were also calculated. The results are the most accurate theoretical values obtained for the studied systems to date. Our best estimates of the $^7$Li and $^6$Li EAs are 4984.9842(30) and 4984.9015(30) cm$^{-1}$, respectively, and of the $^7$Li/$^6$Li EA isotope shift is 0.0827 cm$^{-1}$. | |||||

| Abstract: We present very accurate quantum mechanical calculations of the three lowest $S$-states [$1s^2 2s^2 (^1 S_0)$, $1s^2 2p^2 (^1 S_0)$, and $1s^2 2s 3s (^1 S_0)$] of the two stable isotopes of the boron ion, $^{10}$B$^+$ and $^{11}$B$^+$. At the nonrelativistic level the calculations have been performed with the Hamiltonian that explicitly includes the finite mass of the nucleus as it was obtained by a rigorous separation of the center-of-mass motion from the laboratory frame Hamiltonian. The spatial part of the nonrelativistic wave function for each state was expanded in terms of 10000 all-electron explicitly correlated Gaussian functions. The nonlinear parameters of the Gaussians were variationally optimized using a procedure involving the analytical energy gradient determined with respect to the nonlinear parameters. The nonrelativistic wave functions of the three states were subsequently used to calculate the leading $\alpha^2$ relativistic corrections ($\alpha$ is the fine structure constant; $\alpha = 1/c$, where $c$ is the speed of light) and the $\alpha^3$ quantum electrodynamics (QED) correction. We also estimated the $\alpha^4$ QED correction by calculating its dominant component. A comparison of the experimental transition frequencies with the frequencies obtained based on the energies calculated in this work shows an excellent agreement. The discrepancy is smaller than 0.4 cm$^{-1}$. | |||||

| Abstract: Highly accurate quantum mechanical calculations are performed for the $1s^2 2s^2 (^1 S_0) \rightarrow 1 s^2 2p^2 (^1 S_0)$ transition energy in the isotopomers of C$^{2+}$ ion to determine the isotope shifts. Explicitly correlated Gaussian functions and a variational approach that explicitly includes the nuclear motion are employed in the calculations. The leading relativistic and quantum electrodynamics corrections to the transition energy are also calculated using the perturbation theory with the nonrelativistic wave function as the zero-order approximation. It is determined that the $^{12}$C$^{2+}$ transitions energy, which is obtained from the calculations to be 182519.031 cm$^{-1}$ (vs the experimental value of 182519.88 cm$^{-1}$ , an excellent sub-wave-number agreement) up-shifts by 1.755 cm$^{-1}$ for $^{13}$C$^{2+}$ and by additional 1.498 cm$^{-1}$ for $^{14}$C$^{2+}$.

| Abstract: Very accurate variational calculations of all rotationless states (also called pure vibrational states) of the HD molecule have been performed within the framework that does not assume the Born--Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. The non-BO wave functions of the states describing the internal motion of the proton, the deuteron, and the two electrons were expanded in terms of one-center explicitly correlated Gaussian functions multiplied by even powers of the internuclear distance. Up to 6000 functions were used for each state. Both linear and nonlinear parameters of the wave functions of all 18 states were optimized with a procedure that employs the analytical gradient of the energy with respect to the nonlinear parameters of the Gaussians. These wave functions were used to calculate expectation values of the interparticle distances and some other related quantities. The results allow elucidation of the charge asymmetry in HD as a function of the vibrational excitation. | |||||

| Abstract: Using a variational method with an explicitly correlated Gaussian basis, we study the $e^+$-Li and $e^+$-Be complexes in the ground and lowest excited states with higher spin multiplicity. Our calculations provide rigorous theoretical confirmation that a positron can be attached to the excited states: $1s 2s 2p \, ^4 P^o$ and $1s^2 2s 2p \, ^3 P^o$ for $e^+$-Li and $e^+$-Be, respectively. The result is particularly notable for the $e^+$-Be complex, as the excited $^3 P^o$ state lies below the autoionization threshold. We report accurate binding energies, annihilation rates and structural properties of these positron-atom systems. The existence of the ground and metastable excited states with bound positron opens up a new route to the presently lacking experimental verification of stability of a positron binding to any neutral atom. | |||||

Up to 2000 Gaussians were used for each system. The calculations did not assume the Born--Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. In the optimization of the wave function, we employed the analytical energy gradient with respect to the Gaussian exponential parameters. In addition to the total nonrelativistic energies, we computed scalar relativistic corrections (mass-velocity and Darwin).

| Abstract: Variational calculations of the ground state of positronium hydride (HPs) are reported, including various expectation values, electron-positron annihilation rates, and leading relativistic corrections to the total and dissociation energies. The calculations have been performed using a basis set of 4000 thoroughly optimized explicitly correlated Gaussian basis functions. The relative accuracy of the variational energy upper bound is estimated to be of the order of $2 \times 10^{-10}$, which is a significant improvement over previous nonrelativistic results. | |||||

| Abstract: We review a recent development in high-accuracy non-Born--Oppenheimer calculations of atomic and molecular systems in a basis of explicitly correlated Gaussian functions. Much of the recent progress in this area is due to the derivation and implementation of analytical gradients of the energy functional with respect to variational linear and non-linear parameters of the basis functions. This method has been used to obtain atomic and molecular ground and excited state energies and the corresponding wave functions with accuracy that exceeds previous calculations. Further, we have performed the first calculations of non-linear electrical properties of molecules without the Born--Oppenheimer approximation for systems with more than one electron. The results for the dipole moments of such systems as HD and LiH agree very well with experiment. After reviewing our non-Born--Oppenheimer results we will discuss ways this method can be extended to deal with larger molecular systems with and without an external perturbation. | |||||

| Abstract: The Darwin and mass-velocity relativistic corrections have been calculated for all pure vibrational states of the H$_2$ using the perturbation theory and very accurate variational wave functions obtained without assuming the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. Expansions in terms of explicitly correlated Gaussians with premultipliers in the form of even powers of the internuclear distance were used for the wave functions. With the inclusion of the two relativistic corrections to the non-BO energies the transition energies for the highest states agree more with the experimental results. | |||||

| Abstract: The Pauli approach to account for the mass-velocity and Darwin relativistic corrections has been applied to the formalism for quantum mechanical molecular calculations that does not assume the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation regarding separability of the electronic and nuclear motions in molecular systems. The corrections are determined using the first order perturbation theory and are derived for the non-BO wave function of a diatomic system expressed in terms of explicitly correlated Gaussian functions with premultipliers in the form of even powers of the internuclear distance. As a numerical example we used calculations of the transition energies for pure vibrational states of the HD$^+$ ion. | |||||

| Abstract: The variational method complemented with the use of explicitly correlated Gaussian basis functions is one of the most powerful approaches currently used for calculating the properties of few-body systems. Despite its conceptual simplicity, the method offers great flexibility, high accuracy, and can be used to study diverse quantum systems, ranging from small atoms and molecules to light nuclei, hadrons, quantum dots, and Efimov systems. The basic theoretical foundations are discussed, recent advances in the applications of explicitly correlated Gaussians in physics and chemistry are reviewed, and the strengths and weaknesses of the explicitly correlated Gaussians approach are compared with other few-body techniques. | |||||

| Abstract: Very accurate calculations of the pure vibrational spectrum of the HeH$^+$ ion are reported. The method used does not assume the Born--Oppenheimer approximation, and the motion of both the electrons and the nuclei are treated on equal footing. In such an approach the vibrational motion cannot be decoupled from the motion of electrons, and thus the pure vibrational states are calculated as the states of the system with zero total angular momentum. The wave functions of the states are expanded in terms of explicitly correlated Gaussian basis functions multipled by even powers of the internuclear distance. The calculations yielded twelve bound states and corresponding eleven transition energies. Those are compared with the pure vibrational transition energies extracted from the experimental rovibrational spectrum. | |||||

| Abstract: Variational calculations of ground and excited bound states on atomic and molecular systems performed with basis functions that explicitly depend on the interparticle distances can generate very accurate results provided that the basis function parameters are thoroughly optimized by the minimization of the energy. In this work we have derived the algorithm for the gradient of the energy determined with respect to the nonlinear exponential parameters of explicitly correlated Gaussian functions used in calculating $n$-electron atomic systems with two $p$-electrons and ($n-2$) $s$-electrons. The atomic Hamiltonian we used was obtained by rigorously separating out the kinetic energy of the center of mass motion from the laboratory-frame Hamiltonian and explicitly depends on the finite mass of the nucleus. The advantage of having the gradient available in the variational minimization of the energy is demonstrated in the calculations of the ground and the first excited $^3 P$ state of the carbon atom. For the former the lowest energy upper bound ever obtained is reported. | |||||

The finite-nuclear-mass approach is employed and the wave functions of the states are expanded in terms of all-electron explicitly correlated Gaussian function. Four thousand Gaussians are used for each state. The calculated relative energies of the states determined with respect to the $^2 S$ $1s^2 2s^1$ ground state are systematically lower than the experimental values by about 2.5 cm$^{-1}$. As this value is about the same as the difference between the experimental relative energy between $^7$Li$^+$ and $^7$Li in their ground-state energy and the corresponding calculated nonrelativistic relative energy, we attribute it to the relativistic effects not included in the present calculations. | |||||

| Abstract: In this work we report variational calculations of the two lowest vibrational states of the HD molecule within the framework that does not assume the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. The nonrelativistic energies of the states were corrected for the relativistic effects of the order of $\alpha^2$ (where $\alpha=1/c$), calculated as expectation values of the operators representing these effects with the nonrelativistic non-BO wave functions. The non-BO wave functions were expanded in terms of the one-center explicitly correlated Gaussian functions multiplied by even powers of the internuclear distance. The $v=0 \rightarrow 1$ transition energy obtained in the calculations is compared with the previous calculations, as well as with the transition frequency obtained from the experimental spectra. The comparison shows the need to include corrections higher than second order in $\alpha$ to further improve the agreement between the theory and the experiment. | |||||

The nuclear motion has been explicitly included in the calculations (i.e., they have been done without assuming the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation).

The finite-mass (non-BO) wave functions were used to calculate the $\alpha^2$ relativistic corrections ($\alpha = 1/c$). With those corrections and the $\alpha^3$ and $\alpha^4$ corrections taken from Pachucki and Komasa [J. Chem. Phys. 125, 204304 (2006)] , the electron affinity (EA) of $^7$Li was determined.

| Abstract: We report the implementation of the complete set of the lowest-order relativistic corrections of the order of $\alpha^2$ (where $\alpha$ is the fine structure constant) for calculating vibrational states of diatomic molecular systems within the framework that does not assume the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. To test the accuracy of the approach we have performed calculations for all rotationless vibrational states (also called pure vibrational states or $S$ states) of the HeH$^+$ ion in the ground electronic state. For the lowest transitions, where very precise experimental results are available, an excellent agreement with the experimental values has been achieved. | |||||

| Abstract: Very accurate quantum mechanical calculations of the first five vibrational states of the $^4$He$^3$He$^+$ molecular ion are reported. The calculations have been performed explicitly including the coupling of the electronic and nuclear motions [i.e., without assuming the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation]. The nonrelativistic non-BO wave functions were used to calculate the $\alpha^2$ relativistic mass velocity, Darwin, and spin-spin interaction corrections. For the lowest vibrational transition, whose experimental energy is established with high precision, the calculated and the experimental results differ by only 0.16 cm$^{-1}$. | |||||

| Abstract: We report the derivation of the orbit-orbit relativistic correction for calculating pure vibrational states of diatomic molecular systems with $\sigma$ electrons within the framework that does not assume the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. The correction is calculated as the expectation value of the orbit-orbit interaction operator with the non-BO wave function expressed in terms of explicitly correlated Gaussian functions multiplied by even powers of the internuclear distance. With that we can now calculate the complete relativistic correction of the order of $\alpha^2$ (where $\alpha = 1/c$). The new algorithm is applied to determine the full set of the rotationless vibrational levels and the corresponding transition frequencies of the H$_2$ molecule. The results are compared with the previous calculations, as well as with the frequencies obtained from the experimental spectra. The comparison shows the need to include corrections higher than second order in $\alpha$ to further improve the agreement between the theory and the experiment. | |||||

| Abstract: The electron transmission probability in nanodevices is calculated by solving an eigenvalue problem. The eigenvalues are the transmission probabilities and the number of nonzero eigenvalues is equal to the number of open quantum transmission eigenchannels. The number of open eigenchannels is typically a few dozen at most, thus the computational cost amounts to the calculation of a few outer eigenvalues of a complex Hermitian matrix (the transmission matrix). The method is implemented on a real space grid basis providing an alternative to localized atomic orbital based quantum transport calculations. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the method. | |||||

| Abstract: In the framework of real time real space time-dependent density functional theory we have studied the electron-ion dynamics of a hydrogen-terminated silicon surface H-Si(111) subjected to intense laser irradiation. Two surface fragments of different sizes have been used in the simulations. When the intensity and duration of the laser exceed certain levels (which depend on the wavelength) we observe the desorption of the hydrogen atoms, while the underlying silicon layer remains essentially undamaged. Upon further increase of the laser intensity, the chemical bonds between silicon atoms break as well. The results of the simulations suggest that with an appropriate choice of laser parameters it should be possible to remove the hydrogen layer from the H-Si(111) surface in a matter of a few tens of femtoseconds. We have also observed that at high laser field intensities (2-4 V/A in this work) the desorption occurs even when the laser frequency is smaller than the optical gap of the silicon surface fragments. Therefore, nonlinear phenomena must play an essential role in such desorption processes. | |||||

| Abstract: The collision of energetic ions and graphene fragments is studied in the framework of real-space finite-difference time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) coupled with classical molecular dynamics for nuclei. The amount of energy transferred from the projectile to the target is calculated to explore the defect formation mechanisms as a function of the projectile's energy. It is found that creation of defects in graphene due to the interaction of a fast proton with valence electrons is unlikely. In the case of projectiles with higher charges, the transferred energy increases significantly, leading to higher probability of bond breaking. | |||||

| Abstract: We present the results of a combined experimental and numerical study on strong-field ionisation of acetylene performed with the aim of identifying the mechanism behind the previously reported surprisingly large multi-electron ionisation probabilities of polyatomic molecules. Using coincidence momentum imaging techniques and time-dependent density functional simulations, we show that the reported efficient ionisation is due to the combined action of a significant geometrically induced energy upshift of the most relevant valence orbitals as the C--H distance stretches beyond about two times the equilibrium distance, and a strong increase in the coupling between multiple molecular orbitals concomitant with this stretch motion. The identified enhanced ionisation mechanism, which we refer to as EIC-MOUSE, is only effective for molecules aligned close to parallel to the laser polarisation direction, and is inhibited for perpendicularly aligned molecules because of a suppression of the C--H stretch motion during the onset of ionisation. | |||||

| Abstract: We experimentally investigate the ionization mechanism behind the formation of remarkably high charge states observed in the laser-pulse-induced fragmentation of different hydrocarbon molecules by Roither et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 163001 (2011)], who suggested enhanced ionization occurring at multiple C-H bonds as the underlying ionization mechanism. Using multiparticle coincidence momentum imaging we measure the yield of multiply charged fragmenting ethylene and acetylene molecules at several intensities and pulse durations ranging from the few-cycle regime to 25 fs. We observe, at constant intensity, a strong increase of the proton energy with increasing laser pulse duration. It is shown that this is caused by a strong increase in the yield of highly charged parent molecular ions with pulse duration. Based on experimental evidence we explain this increase by the necessary population of precursor states in the parent ion that feature fast C-H stretch dynamics to the critical internuclear distance, where efficient ionization via enhanced ionization takes place. For increasing pulse duration these precursor ionic states are more efficiently populated, which leads in turn to a higher enhanced-ionization probability for longer pulses. Our work provides experimental evidence for the existence of a multiple-bond version of enhanced ionization in polyatomic molecules. | |||||

| Abstract: In this work we report progress in the development and implementation of quantum-mechanical methods for calculating bound ground and excited states of small atomic systems. The work concerns singlet states with the $L=1$ total orbital angular momentum ($P$ states). The method is based on the finite-nuclear-mass (non-Born-Oppenheimer; non-BO) approach and the use of all-particle explicitly correlated Gaussian functions for expanding the nonrelativistic wave function of the system. The development presented here includes derivation and implementation of algorithms for calculating the leading relativistic corrections for singlet states. The corrections are determined in the framework of the perturbation theory as expectation values of the corresponding effective operators using the non-BO wave functions. The method is tested in the calculations of the ten lowest $^1 P$ states of the helium atom and the four lowest $^1 P$ states of the beryllium atom. | |||||

| Abstract: In our previous work (Bubin et al., 2016) it was established that complex explicitly-correlated one-center all-particle Gaussian functions (CECGs) provide an effective basis set for very accurate non-relativistic molecular non-Born-Oppenheimer (non-BO) calculations for vibrational ground and excited states corresponding to the rotational ground state. In this work we advance the molecular CECGs approach further by implementing and testing the algorithms for calculating the vibrational states corresponding to the first rotational excited state (the $J=1$ state). The test concerns all bound $J=1$ rovibrational states of the HD$^+$ ion. | |||||

| Abstract: Benchmark calculations of the total and transition energies of the four lowest $^1 S$ states of the beryllium atom are performed. The computational approach is based on variational calculations with finite mass of the nucleus. All-particle explicitly correlated Gaussian (ECG) functions are used to expand the total non-Born-Oppenheimer nonrelativistic wave functions and the ECG exponential parameters are optimized using the standard variational method. The leading relativistic and quantum electrodynamics energy corrections are calculated using the first-order perturbation theory. A comparison of the experimental transition frequencies with the ones calculated in this work shows excellent agreement. The deviations of 0.02--0.09 cm$^{-1}$ are well within the estimated error limits for the experimental values. | |||||

| Abstract: In this work we report the results of HYSPLIT numerical simulations of the Chernobyl $^{137}$Cs atmospheric transport, dispersion, and deposition on the regional scale ($\sim$1000 km from the source) with the main focus on the analysis of the deposition processes. In the simulations we used three different gridded datasets of input meteorology and three release scenarios previously published in the literature. The resistance method and the predefined constant value of the deposition velocity (0.005 m/s) were applied to calculate dry depositions whereas an approach based on a scavenging coefficient was used for both wet in-cloud and below-cloud removals. The results were statistically evaluated against the measurements of $^{137}$Cs total depositions on the territory of Ukraine. Our simulations show considerable dependence of the HYSPLIT-predicted accumulated deposition pattern on both the input meteorology and source parameterizations. The best performance of HYSPLIT was obtained with the ERA Interim reanalysis data and the source model of Talerko (2005) and the constant deposition velocity. This simulation reproduced fairly well the spatial structure of the $^{137}$Cs contamination on the territory of Ukraine with good evaluation statistics. However, not all significant local maxima of the contamination pattern were captured clearly. Our simulations also show that dry removal processes account for approximately 50\% of the total depositions in Ukraine. Both wet in-cloud and below-cloud removal mechanisms had roughly equal influence on the total amount of $^{137}$Cs radionuclides deposited on the territory of Ukraine. | |||||

| Abstract: The Born--Oppenheimer (BO) approximation is the bedrock of quantum mechanical calculations of atomic and molecular systems. However, there are effects in these systems that require departure from the BO approximations. We start this review with describing these effects and some of the previous works where calculations were performed to account for their magnitude in various atomic and molecular properties. In particular, the problem of selecting appropriate basis functions for non-BO calculations is analyzed and some examples of such calculations are presented. The last part of this review is devoted to perspectives in carrying out quantum mechanical studies of structures, spectra, and other properties of atoms and molecules in isolation and in confinement and treating both nuclei and electrons in these studies on on equal footing. | |||||

| Abstract: In this work, we describe a computer program called ATOM-MOL-nonBO for performing bound state calculations of small atoms and molecules without assuming the Born--Oppenheimer approximation. All particles forming the systems, electrons and nuclei, are treated on equal footing. The wave functions of the bound states are expanded in terms of all-particle one-center complex explicitly correlated Gaussian functions multiplied by Cartesian angular factors. As these Gaussian functions are eigenfunctions of the operator representing the square of the total angular momentum of the system, the problem separates and calculations of states corresponding to different values of the total rotational quantum number can be solved independently from each other. Due to thorough variational optimization of the Gaussian exponential parameters, the method allows us to generate very accurate wave functions. The optimization is aided by analytically calculated energy gradient determined with respect to the parameters. Three examples of calculations performed for diatomic and triatomic molecules are shown as an illustration of calculations that can be performed with this program. Finally, we discuss the limitations, applicability range, and bottlenecks of the program. | |||||

| Abstract: The present study investigated the uncertainty associated with Climatol's adjustment algorithm applied to daily minimum and maximum air temperature. The uncertainty quantification was performed based on several numerical experiments and the benchmark data that were created in the framework of the INDECIS project. Using a complex approach, the uncertainty was evaluated at different levels of detail (day-to-day evaluation through formalism of random functions and six statistical metrics) and time resolution (daily and yearly). However, only the main source of potential residual errors was considered, namely station signals introduced into a raw data set to be homogenized/adjusted. Other influencing factors, such as the averaged correlation between a candidate and references, were removed from the analysis or kept almost unchanged. According to our calculations, the Climatol's adjustment uncertainty, evaluated on the daily scale, varies over time. The width of the residual errors distribution in summer months is substantially less compared with wintertime. The slight seasonality is also observed in the means of the residual errors. The uncertainty evaluation based on the statistical metrics usually neglect such seasonal non-stationarity of the residual errors providing only assessments averaged over time. On the other hand, the metrics provide detailed information regarding both types of the residual errors, systematic and scatter. The metrics values confirmed good capability of the Climatol software to remove the systematic errors related to jumps in the means, while the scatter errors are removed from the raw time series less efficiently. On the yearly scale, the uncertainty evaluation was performed for the yearly temperature data and several climate extreme indices. Both types of errors are removed well in the yearly time series of the air temperature and the extreme indices. The metrics values showed a significant reduction of the Climatol's adjustment uncertainty. A substantial decrease of the linear trend errors in the yearly time series can also be observed. | |||||

| Abstract: In this work, we present a series of benchmark variational calculations for the ground and 19 lowest bound excited singlet S and P states of the beryllium atom. The nonrelativistic wave functions of the states that represent the motion of the nucleus and the four electrons around the center of mass of the atom are expanded in terms of up to 17 000 all-particle explicitly correlated Gaussians. The Gaussians are optimized independently for each state. The leading relativistic corrections to the energy levels are computed in the framework of the perturbation theory and they explicitly include the nuclear recoil effects. We also calculate the leading quantum electrodynamics (QED) corrections for each considered state. Using the obtained energy levels and the corresponding wave functions, we compute the transition frequencies, transition dipole moments, and oscillator strengths. A comparison with the available experimental data shows very good agreement. The results of this most comprehensive set of calculations of spectroscopic accuracy for Be to date may open up new applications pertinent to the precision tests of QED, determination of the nuclear charge radius, and modeling matter-radiation equilibria of the beryllium gas that has relevance to the physics of interstellar media. | |||||

| Abstract: In this work we present high-accuracy benchmark-quality calculations of the electron affinity (EA) of the LiH molecule in a framework that does not assume the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. The EA is calculated as a difference between the total energies of LiH$^-$ and LiH. The calculations of the energies are performed using the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method with large basis sets of all-particle explicitly correlated Gaussian functions (ECGs). Up to 14,000 ECGs are used in the calculations for each system. The nonlinear parameters of the ECGs are optimised by by the minimisation of the total non-relativistic energy of the system using an approach that employs the energy gradient determined with respect the parameters. The LiH$^-$ and LiH non-relativistic non-BO wave functions are subsequently used to calculate the leading relativistic corrections. The calculated EA is well converged in terms of the size of the basis sets and the obtained value falls within the uncertainty of the best available experimental result. | |||||

| Abstract: We report high accuracy calculations of the ground and excited doublet $S$ and $P$ states of lithium atom. Overall, 24 states corresponding to dominant electronic configurations $1s^2 ns$ and $1s^2 np$ ($n=2,...,13$) are considered in the framework of the Ritz variational method. The nonrelativistic wave function of each of these states is generated in an independent calculation by expanding it in terms of a large number ($K$=11,000−17,000) of all-electron explicitly correlated Gaussian functions (ECG) whose nonlinear parameters are extensively optimized with a procedure that employs analytic energy gradient determined with respect to these parameters. The Hamiltonian used in the calculations explicitly depends on the mass of the nucleus. The leading relativistic and quantum electrodynamics (QED) corrections to the energy levels are subsequently computed using the perturbation-theory approach and the variational nonrelativistic wave functions as the zeroth-order functions. As these functions are generated in the finite-nuclear-mass (FNM) calculations, the energy corrections include the nuclear recoil effects. The obtained energy levels allow us to determine highly accurate interstate transition frequencies for both the naturally occurring stable lithium isotopes, $^6$Li and $^7$Li, and the lithium atom with an infinitely heavy nucleus, $^\infty$Li. The nonrelativistic wave functions are used to compute the transition dipole moments and the corresponding oscillator strengths. These quantities are reported for 144 $S--P$ transitions of each isotope. The data set generated in this work is considerably more accurate and comprehensive than the data available from the previous theoretical calculations. It can be useful in guiding future spectroscopic measurements of the lithium atom. | |||||

| Abstract: Benchmark variational calculations of the lowest eight Rydberg $^2 P^o$ states of the singly ionized carbon atom (stable isotopes $^{12}$C$^+$, $^{13}$C$^+$, and $^{14}$C$^+$, as well as the infinite nuclear mass ion $^\infty$C$^+$) are reported and the fine structure of the energy levels is determined.

| Abstract: We consider basing on the Galerkin variational method with the Gaussian basis, the bound states of the Coulomb-type quantum systems of gravitating identical particles. The approach is applied to the three–particle system with a varying permutational symmetry of wave functions and to the four-particle system with fully symmetrical wave functions. A qualitative analysis of the energy spectra is performed. The contribution of Jastrow's correlations to the ground-state energy of the three-boson system is studied. Precise calculations of the binding energies of the ground state and a few lowest states with zero angular momentum are carried out. The rms radii, density distributions and formfactors, pair correlation functions, and momentum distributions are calculated and analysed for different energy states. The energies of the systems with the Yukawa-type interaction potentials are estimated. Some methods of highly accurate variational calculations are discussed. A significant attention is given to the problem of selecting nonlinear variational parameters. | |||||

| Abstract: In this article we assess the sensitivity of the numerical simulations of the radioactive $^{137}$Cs contamination of Ukraine caused by the Chornobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986 to the input meteorological data. The atmospheric transport, dispersion, and deposition (dry scavenging and rain washout) of the radioactive aerosols was simulated using the CALPUFF dispersion model. The source parameterization of the $^{137}$Cs emissions during the active phase of the catastrophe (26 April—May 5 of 1986) was adopted from the previously published literature results. Seventeen different versions/realizations of the input meteorology for CALPUFF simulations were prepared with the regional prognostic meteorological model WRF by combining the available global atmospheric reanalyses for 1986 (NNRP, ERA-Interim, ERA5, CFSR) and the model’s physical parameterizations (microphysics, radiation processes, boundary/surface layer physics). The assessment of the simulation uncertainty was carried out in two different ways. In the first approach, the uncertainty was estimated as the width of the distribution of the calculated $^{137}$Cs surface concentrations (adjusted to the logarithmic scale), which were obtained with different versions of the input meteorology. The second approach was based on the statistical comparison of the calculated $^{137}$Cs contaminations and the corresponding measured values obtained during a complex assessment of the aftermath of the disaster made at the beginning of 1990s. Two statistical metrics were used: the geometric mean bias and the geometric mean variance. The results of our study demonstrate that even when using somewhat unified meteorological data (atmospheric reanalysis), the results of the radioactive contamination calculations at the same spatial locations can differ by several orders of magnitude. We find that the uncertainty depends not only on the distance to the source of the emissions but also on the physical mechanism (wet or dry deposition) responsible for the formation of the local contamination | |||||

| Abstract: In this work we consider an efficient algorithm for variational calculations of quantum few-particle systems in $S$, $P$, and $D$ states of the even parity using all-particle explicitly correlated Gaussian (ECG) basis sets. We primarily focus on the description of states where the dominant configuration contains either two particles in $p$ states or a single particle in a $d$ state (all other particles are in $s$ states). The basis functions we consider are products of spherically symmetric ECGs and bipolar harmonics. We introduced a scheme for deriving expressions for matrix elements of the overlap, kinetic and potential energy, as well as their derivatives with respect to the nonlinear parameters of the Gaussians. This allowed us to improve the efficiency of numerical calculations of the matrix elements (which is the most critical part of any code that uses ECGs) by one to two orders of magnitude compared to previous implementations. We provide a complete set of formulas for all basic matrix elements using the formalism of matrix differential calculus and discuss some technical details relevant to their efficient implementation. Lastly, we report a few example calculations of the $^2 D^e$ states of the Li atom, $^4 P^e$ and $^2 D^e$ states of the B atom, and $^3 P^e$ states of the C atom. | |||||
