Summary on Grant Application Form |
This proposal outlines a computational programme of work consisting of two parts. (1) In the first part, the relative intensities of vibrational components in vibrationally resolved photoelectron spectra of tri- and tetra-atomic molecules will be used to determine the geometry change on ionisation for each band via a series of Franck-Condon calculations. (2) In the second part, density functional calculations are proposed on metal oxide lattices to investigate the effects of defects in a lattice and understand the principles of metal ion diffusion. The approach used to model perfect and defective bulk solids will be to choose a quantum chemical cluster, which is representative of part of the solid of interest, and embed it in the surrounding lattice.
