The recently proposed rigorous yet abstract theory of first order nonadiabatic coupling matrix elements (fo-NACME) between electronically excited states [Z. Li and W. Liu, J. Chem. Phys. 141, 014110 (2014)] is specified in detail for two widely used models: The time-dependent density functional theory and the particle-particle Tamm-Dancoff approximation. The actual implementation employs a Lagrangian formalism with atomic-orbital based direct algorithms, which makes the computation of fo-NACME very similar to that of excited-state gradients. Although the methods have great potential in investigating internal conversions and nonadiabatic dynamics between excited states of large molecules, only prototypical systems as a first pilot application are considered here to illustrate some conceptual aspects.
最近提出的关于电子激发态之间一阶非绝热耦合矩阵元（fo-NACME）的严格但抽象的理论[Z. Li和W. Liu，《化学物理杂志》141, 014110 (2014)]针对两种广泛使用的模型进行了详细阐述：含时密度泛函理论和粒子-粒子Tamm-Dancoff近似。实际实现采用了基于原子轨道直接算法的拉格朗日形式，这使得fo-NACME的计算与激发态梯度的计算非常相似。尽管这些方法在研究大分子激发态之间的内转换和非绝热动力学方面具有很大潜力，但这里仅考虑典型系统作为首次试点应用，以说明一些概念性方面。
