7 Open-Shell and Excited-State Methods

7.14 Core Ionization Energies and Core-Excited States

(April 13, 2024)

Core-level spectroscopy in Q-Chem 5.2 - Presented by Prof. Anna Krylov, USC

In experiments using high-energy radiation (such as x-ray spectroscopy, EXAFS, NEXAFS, XAS, XES, RIXS, REXS, etc.) core electrons can be ionized or excited to low-lying virtual orbitals. There are several ways to compute ionization or excitation energies of core electrons in Q-Chem. Standard approaches for excited and ionized states need to be modified to tackle core-level states, because these states have very high energies and are embedded in the ionization continuum, i.e., they are Feshbach resonances. 1076 Sadybekov A., Krylov A.
