Dear colleagues,
We invite contributions to an upcoming symposium at the Spring 2018 ACS
National Meeting titled "Modeling dynamics in dense manifolds of
electronic states." The meeting will be Sunday March 31-Thursday April
4, 2019 in Orlando, Florida and is sponsored by the ACS PHYS division.
In short, the symposium is focused on the development of methods for the
modeling of excited state dynamics when the number of electronic states
involved is large. There will be broad contributions from experts in
both electronic structure theory and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics and
from a range of application domains. An abstract and list of confirmed
speakers are below.
Abstracts for contributed talks may be submitted via ACS's online system:
https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings/national-meeting/abstract-submission.html
The abstract deadline is Monday, Oct 29th.
We look forward to your submissions and to seeing you in Orlando!
All the best,
Benjamin G. Levine
Petr Slavicek
Symposium abstract:
Practical theoretical protocols for modeling photodynamics on the lowest
few electronic states of molecules and materials are now widely used and
have yielded many important insights into a range of chemical
phenomena. Modeling nonadiabatic dynamics in systems that explore dense
manifolds of electronic states, however, remains an open challenge in
theoretical chemistry. The development of robust methods for modeling
dynamics in dense manifolds of electronic states would enable discovery
in a wide range of fields, for example atmospheric chemistry,
astrochemistry, molecules in strong laser fields, radiation damage, and
optoelectronic and plasmonic materials. Theorists in these disparate
application domains face similar theoretical challenges. Our symposium
brings together chemists and physicists from these different application
areas to examine the most fruitful developments in the modeling of
electronic and nonadiabatic dynamics in dense manifolds of electronic
states, to explore how developments in one area of chemistry can be
leveraged in others, and to discuss recent progress towards answering
the biggest chemical questions in the above areas.
