(2021-01-26)
A low barrier in the reaction pathway between the double Rydberg isomer of OH3
− and a
hydride-water complex indicates that the former species is more difficult to isolate and characterize
through anion photoelectron ...

Treatments of interelectronic repulsion that avoid four-center integrals have been incorporated in ab
initio, electron-propagator calculations with diagonal self-energy matrices. Whereas the formal
scaling of arithmetic ...
Partial photoionization cross sections of and Rydberg radicals

The experimental vertical electron detachment energy VEDE of aqueous fluoride, F− H2O , is
approximately 9.8 eV, but spectral assignment is complicated by interference between F− 2p and
H2O 1b1 orbitals. The electronic ...
Quasiparticle virtual orbitals in electron propagator calculations
(2021-01-26)
The computational limits of accurate electron propagator methods for the calculation of electron

Electron density ...
Second-order, two-electron Dyson propagator theory: Comparisons for vertical double ionization potentials
(2021-01-26)
The second-order, two-electron Dyson propagator is derived using superoperator theory with a
spin-adapted formulation. To include certain ladder diagrams to all orders, the shifted-denominator
SD2 approximation is made. ...
