In this work, we examine hydrogen-bond (H-bond) switching by employing the Markov State Model (MSM). During the H-bond switching, a water hydrogen initially H-bonded with water oxygen becomes H-bonded to a different water oxygen. MSM analysis was applied to trajectories generated from molecular dynamics simulations of the TIP4P/2005 model from a room-temperature state to a supercooled state. We defined four basis states to characterize the configuration between two water molecules H-bonded ("H"), unbound ("U"), weakly H-bonded ("w"), and alternative H-bonded ("a") states. A 16 × 16 MSM matrix was constructed, describing the transition probability between states composed of three water molecules. The mean first-passage time of the H-bond switching was estimated by calculating the total flux from the HU to UH states. It is demonstrated that the temperature dependence of the mean first-passage time is in accordance with that of the H-bond lifetime determined from the H-bond correlation function. Furthermore, the flux for the H-bond switching is decomposed into individual pathways that are characterized by different forms of H-bond configurations of trimers. The dominant pathway of the H-bond switching is found to be a direct one without passing through such intermediate states as "w" and "a," the existence of which becomes evident in supercooled water. The pathway through "w" indicates a large reorientation of the donor molecule. In contrast, the pathway through "a" utilizes the tetrahedral H-bond network, which is revealed by the further decomposition based on the H-bond number of the acceptor molecule.We propose a novel general approximation to transform and simplify the description of a complex fully quantized system describing the interacting light and matter. The method has some similarities to the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approach we consider a quantum description of light rather than of nuclei and follow a similar separation procedure. Our approximation allows us to obtain a decoupled system for the light-excited matter and "dressed" light connected parametrically. With these equations at hand, we study how intense light as a quantum state is affected due to the back-action of the interacting matter. We discuss and demonstrate the possibility of the light-mode entanglement and nonclassical light generation during the interaction.A single atom Ti-Cu(111) surface alloy can be generated by depositing small amounts of Ti onto Cu(111) at slightly elevated surface temperatures (∼500 to 600 K). Scanning tunneling microscopy shows that small Ti-rich islands covered by a Cu single layer form preferentially on ascending step edges of Cu(111) during Ti deposition below about 400 K but that a Ti-Cu(111) alloy replaces these small islands during deposition between 500 and 600 K, producing an alloy in the brims of the steps. Larger partially Cu-covered Ti-containing islands also form on the Cu(111) terraces at temperatures between 300 and 700 K. Selleck EGFR inhibitor After surface exposure to CO at low temperatures, reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) reveals distinct C-O stretch bands at 2102 and 2050 cm-1 attributed to CO adsorbed on Cu-covered Ti-containing domains vs sites in the Ti-Cu(111) surface alloy. Calculations using density functional theory (DFT) suggest that the lower frequency C-O stretch band originates specifically from CO adsorbed on isolated Ti atoms in the Ti-Cu(111) surface alloy and predicts a higher C-O stretch frequency for CO adsorbed on Cu above subsurface Ti ensembles. DFT further predicts that CO preferentially adsorbs in flat-lying configurations on contiguous Ti surface structures with more than one Ti atom and thus that CO adsorbed on such structures should not be observed with RAIRS. The ability to generate a single atom Ti-Cu(111) alloy will provide future opportunities to investigate the surface chemistry promoted by a representative early transition metal dopant on a Cu(111) host surface.We present a phenomenological study of dynamical evolution of the active site in atomically dispersed catalysts in the presence of reaction intermediates associated with CO oxidation and low-temperature water-gas shift reaction. Using picosecond ab initio molecular dynamics, we probe the initiation of adsorbate-induced diffusion of atomically dispersed platinum on rutile TiO2(110). NVT trajectories spanning 5 ps at 500 K reveal that the dynamical stability of the metal atom is governed by its local coordination to the support and adsorbate. Adsorbates that bind the strongest to Pt typically also lead to the fastest diffusion of the metal atom, and all adsorbates weaken Pt-support interactions, resulting in higher diffusion coefficients compared to bare Pt. We note, however, the absence of quantitative correlations between adsorption characteristics (Pt Bader charge, adsorbate binding energy) and ensemble-averaged quantities (diffusion coefficients). A recurring structural motif identified in several trajectories is a near-linear coordination between support oxygen, Pt, and specific adsorbates. These geometries, on account of enhanced metal support interactions, stabilize Pt and inhibit migration over picosecond timescales. We also identify hydrogen bonding events between the adsorbate and support for OH-containing groups. In the case of OH-bound Pt, for instance, we believe that short-lived H-bonds between OH and support promote Pt migration in the beginning of the NVT trajectory, while the subsequent formation of a near-linear geometry stabilizes the Pt atom despite the continued formation of short-lived hydrogen bonds. These observations are consistent with prior studies that report stabilization of isolated metal atoms in the presence of hydroxyl groups.Since the seminal work of Tully [J. Chem. Phys. 93, 1061 (1990)], two-level scattering models have been extensively adopted as the standard benchmark systems to assess the performance of different trajectory surface hopping methods for nonadiabatic dynamics simulations. Here, we extend the branching and phase corrections to multilevel systems and combine them with both the traditional fewest switches surface hopping (FSSH) and its variant global flux surface hopping (GFSH) algorithms. To get a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed methods, we construct a series of more challenging and diverse three-level and four-level scattering models and use exact quantum solutions as references. Encouragingly, both FSSH and GFSH with the branching and phase corrections produce excellent and nearly identical results in all investigated systems, indicating that the new surface hopping methods are robust to describe multilevel problems and the reliability is insensitive to the definition of self-consistent hopping probabilities in the adiabatic representation.
