The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $510,000 Project Grant to the University of Southern California to support the development of new theoretical approaches for modeling linear and non-linear core-level spectroscopies in gas and condensed phases from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. Principal Investigator Anna Krylov at the University of Southern California will utilize coupled-cluster and equation-of-motion electronic structure methods to model spectroscopic techniques such as two-photon absorption, photoelectron circular dichroism, magnetic circular dichroism, and sum-frequency generation for both ultraviolet-visible valence transitions and x-ray core-level transitions. This work will help bridge the gap between rapidly advancing experimental capabilities for probing molecular structure and dynamics using high-energy and high-intensity light sources, and the theoretical tools needed to fully realize the potential of these new experimental techniques. The project directly supports the goals of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program of the National Science Foundation to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing fundamental scientific knowledge.
