A general method is proposed for quantum-mechanical study of physical properties molecules involving polarization or distortion the electronic structure. This consists calculation self-consistent molecular orbital wavefunctions (single determinants) in presence small but finite perturbations. The theory such methods presented together with a preliminary discussion numerical error.
A strain of Shigella dysenteriae 1, freshly isolated from a patient with dysentery in Guatemala August 1969, was found to elaborate an enterotoxin into the liquid broth cultures. Partial purification by ultrafiltration on graded polymeric membranes and Sephadex gel filtration (Pharmacia Fine Chemicals, Inc., Piscataway, N. J.) suggested approximate molecular weight 55,000-60,000. The partially purified toxin heat-labile, pronase sensitive, activated alkaline pH, it elicited fluid production...

We employ a quantum Liouville equation with relaxation to model the recently observed anomalous Hall effect in graphene irradiated by an ultrafast pulse of circularly polarized light. In weak-field regime, we demonstrate that originates from asymmetric population photocarriers Dirac bands. By contrast, strong-field system is driven into non-equilibrium steady state well-described topologically non-trivial Floquet-Bloch Here, current combination imbalance these dressed bands together smaller...
The finite pertubation method developed in the first paper of this series is applied to isotropic nuclear-spin coupling constants, assuming that only a Fermi contact mechanism couples electron and nuclear spins. Results for some simple systems are calculated using self-consistent molecular orbital methods involving neglect differential overlap, on basis these results, certain points regarding mechanisms spin discussed. A detailed discussion sources magnitudes errors also presented.
New methods of determining the steepest descent reaction path in dynamical calculations based on Hamiltonian are investigated. These use first and second energy derivatives correct to third order Taylor series expansion arc length. The H+H2O→H2+OH using small basis set three electron-three active orbital CASSCF wave functions with analytically calculated is used as a test platform. Reaction paths number different step sizes computed their accuracy determined by evaluating deviations...

Topological insulators possess completely different spin-orbit coupled bulk and surface electronic spectra that are each predicted to exhibit exotic responses light. Here we report time-resolved fundamental second harmonic optical pump-probe measurements on the topological insulator Bi2Se3 independently measure its photo-induced charge spin dynamics with selectivity. Our results show a transient net density can be optically induced in both surface, which may drive transport insulators. By...
We use ultrafast laser pulses to experimentally demonstrate that the second-order optical response of bulk single crystals topological insulator ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Se}}_{3}$ is sensitive its surface electrons. By performing doping dependence measurements as a function photon polarization and sample orientation we show second harmonic generation can simultaneously probe both crystalline structure charge ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Se}}_{3}$. Furthermore, find using circularly polarized...
We investigate the topological properties of Floquet-engineered twisted bilayer graphene above magic angle driven by circularly polarized laser pulses. Employing a full Moir\'e-unit-cell tight-binding Hamiltonian based on first-principles electronic structure we show that band topology in bilayer, at twisting angles 1.05$^\circ$, essentially corresponds to one single-layer graphene. However, ability open topologically trivial gaps this system bias voltage between layers enables phase diagram...
