Three-photon absorption in anthracene-porphyrin-anthracene triads: A quantum-chemical study
We have applied correlated quantum-chemical methods to investigate the three-photon absorption (3PA) response of a porphyrin triad derivative, where the central macrocycle is linked in mesopositions t...

We study Na + N2 collisions by laser excitation of the collision complex in a differential scattering experiment. The measured relative population of the Na(3p) fine-structure levels reflects the nonadiabatic transitions occuring in the exit channel of the collision. Theoretical results obtained with a classical-path formalism and accurate quantum chemical data for NaN2 are found to be in good agreement. The presence of a conical intersection for the T-shaped geometry has a profound influence on the observed fine-structure branching.©2004 American Institute of Physics.
