The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $435,732 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct computational research on metal-containing small molecules. The proposed work aims to develop new algorithms and computer programs to elucidate the roles of electronic state coupling in laser cooling of molecules to ultracold temperatures. The research will provide insights into molecules relevant to quantum sciences and searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model, in collaboration with experimental groups. Key focus areas include relativistic coupled-cluster theory to enhance the treatment of nonadiabatic effects, and predictions of properties for specific metal-containing molecules like RaOH, ThF+, and YbOH. This 3-year project runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026.
