5f covalency in [U(CH)] was probed with carbon K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and electronic structure theory. The results revealed U 5f orbital participation in δ-bonding in both the ground- and core-excited states; additional 5f ϕ-mixing is observed in the core-excited states. Comparisons with U(CH) show greater δ-covalency for [U(CH)].

First-principles simulations of excited-state X-ray spectra are becoming increasingly important to interpret the wealth of electronic and geometric information contained within femtosecond X-ray absorption spectra recorded at X-ray Free Electron Lasers (X-FELs). However, because the transition dipole matrix elements must be calculated between two excited states (i.e.

The development of accurate and fast computational procedures for the calculation of X-ray spectroscopies is paramount to facilitate theoretical analysis of modern X-ray experiments on molecules. Herein, we present the extension of Cluster Perturbation theory to comprehend the calculation of core excited states and core ionization potentials using the core-valence separation approximation, which has seen widespread success for various quantum chemistry methods. We derive the theoretical framework for introducing core-valence separation into Cluster Perturbation series for excitation energies and display the performance of the methodology in S(D) orbital excitation spaces.

Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses an advanced method called COOX, which is adapted to calculate core excitations using a constraint-based approach in density functional theory (DFT).
- COOX combines elements like spin-unrestricted formalism and relativistic corrections to deliver highly accurate results for core excitations in second- and third-period atoms, with small errors.
- The method also shows strong performance for heavier atoms and is competitive with established techniques like ΔSCF, making it a valuable tool for simulating X-ray absorption spectra with better convergence and lower computational costs.
Exploring electronic resonances in pyridine: Insights from orbital stabilization techniques.

Electron attachment to pyridine results in electronic resonances, metastable states that can decay through electronic or nuclear degrees of freedom. This study uses orbital stabilization techniques combined with bound electronic structure methods, based on equation of motion coupled cluster or multi-reference methods, to calculate positions and widths of electronic resonances in pyridine that exist below 10 eV. We report four 2B1 and four 2A2 resonances, including one 2B1 not previously reported experimentally and two 2A2 resonances not reported at all in the literature.

A coherent vibrational wavepacket is launched and manipulated in the symmetric stretch (a) mode of CBr, by impulsive stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) from nonresonant 400 nm laser pump pulses with various peak intensities on the order of tens of 10 W/cm. Extreme ultraviolet (XUV) attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) records the wavepacket dynamics as temporal oscillations in XUV absorption energy at the bromine M 3d edges around 70 eV. The results are augmented by nuclear time-dependent Schrödinger equation simulations.
