Applying the variational principle to a spin-boson Hamiltonian
Ground states of a spin-boson Hamiltonian, describing one two-level system (a spin) coupled to infinitely many harmonic oscillators (bosons), are studied. This spin-boson Hamiltonian is a prototype fo...

Dynamic simulations of water at constant chemical potential
The grand molecular dynamics (GMD) method has been extended and applied to examine the density dependence of the chemical potential of a three-site water model. The method couples a classical system t...

Ab initio self-consistent-field (SCF) Hartree–Fock and configuration interaction (CI) calculations have been carried out for H<sup> + </sup><sub>2n + 1</sub> (n=1–6) clusters using a triple-zeta plus polarization basis set. Fully optimized structures and energies of H<sup> + </sup><sub>11</sub> and H<sup> + </sup><sub>13</sub> are presented. These structures can be thought as the addition of H2 molecules to a deformed H<sup> + </sup><sub>9</sub>. Dissociation energies as a function of cluster size follow the pattern established experimentally by Hiraoka and Mori. Nevertheless, our energy results on the biggest clusters suffer from the lack of size consistency of CI with single and double substitutions (CISD) calculations. Analytic gradient techniques have been used to locate stationary point geometries and to predict harmonic vibrational frequencies and infrared intensities at the two levels of theory SCF (n=1–6) and CISD (n=1–4) both with triple-zeta polarization basis sets. Of special interest are the new vibrational modes of H<sup> + </sup><sub>11</sub> and H<sup> + </sup><sub>13</sub>, which have no counterpart in the H<sup> + </sup><sub>9</sub> cluster. Our predicted frequencies compare fairly well with the experimental results of Okumura, Yeh, and Lee. The Journal of Chemical Physics is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.
