NUCLEAR MOTION COUPLED TO ELECTRONIC TRANSITION*
Vibronic structure is absorption spectra; wavepacket dynamics; coupling of electronic states to
intramolecular vibrations or solvent; coupling of electronic excitation/excitons in
solids/semiconductors to phonons. Also, extensions to Förster and Marcus Theories.

Spectrum is a progression of absorption peaks separated by Z 0 with a Poisson distribution of
intensities o vibrational progression!
The intensities of these peaks are dependent on D , which is a measure of the coupling strength
between nuclear an electronic degrees of freedom.

Franck-Condon Transitions
Note that for D 1 peak absorption at n 0 . For D !! 1 peak at n | D .
Note that D is the number of quanta excited at Q 0 o Franck-Condon principle.

What if the electronic transition is coupled to many vibrational coordinates with own
displacement?
Correlation function is easy (if the modes are independent). Then we write the state of the
system as product states, i.e. g;n1 ,n2 ,...,ni

Relaxation—
We didn’t include damping. Clearly, this will lead to broadening of delta function transitions.
We can also think of this as coupling to damped harmonic oscillators:

Calculating the lineshape, we would see “hot bands”: transitions from thermally populated
vibrational states. At low temperature the first term dominates – giving our previous result, and
at high temperatures, we have additional contributions which gives a progression of transitions to
frequencies below Zeg.
For the coupling of electronic transitions to nuclear motion, we often want to describe coupling
to a large number of modes. A continuous distribution can be used to describe relaxation
processes—remember that coupling to a continuum leads to irreversible relaxation. If the
nuclear degrees of freedom don’t interact, we can write the state of the system in terms of the
electronic state and the nuclear quantum numbers, i.e. e;n1 ,n2 ,n3 ! , and from that:

We can also use the displaced harmonic oscillator model to describe rates of energy or electron
transfer.
