Electron transfer dynamics in the excited state studied by stochastic-Liouville equation

Electron transfer dynamics in the excited state is theoretically investigat ed by means of the stochastic-liouville equation. We evaluate time dependen ce of the density matrix for the three electronic states, the ground state, locally excited state, and the charge transfer state by solving the equati on numerically. We treat the optical transition and electronic interaction in the excited states quantum mechanically to investigate these effects on the reaction dynamics. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
