The National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry has awarded a $696,868 Project Grant to Princeton University's Professor Joseph Subotnik to develop new computational methods for modeling the flow of energy between electrons, nuclei, and spin in molecular and material systems. This research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to improve understanding of efficient energy conversion processes in nature, such as photosynthesis, by accounting for spin degrees of freedom that are often neglected in current simulations. The project will produce angular momentum-conserving nonadiabatic dynamics algorithms and apply them to investigate the role of spin in intersystem crossing events. The resulting methods and insights are expected to bridge the gap between the chemistry and physics communities studying spin-dependent energy dynamics. The award will fund this research over a four-year period from August 2024 to July 2028.
