Ultrafast Intersystem Crossing in SO2 and Nucleobases

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 162))

Abstract

Mixed quantum-classical dynamics simulations show that intersystem crossing between singlet and triplet states in SO2 and in nucleobases takes place on an ultrafast timescale (few 100 fs), directly competing with internal conversion.
