SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book concentrates on the mathematical and physical features of non-adiabatic coupling terms (NACTs) and their conical intersections in quantum chemical calculations. The author distinguishes between two aspects of this subject: (1) The practical one, which implies deriving the relevant equation of motion required for reliable calculations of spectroscopic or dynamical cross sections; and (2) The theoretical one, which concentrates on the study of the NACTs and the relation between molecular physics and other fields in physics, in particular, electrodynamics.
