Abstract

Aspects of the vibrational dynamics on conically intersecting potential energy surfaces are discussed on the basis of exact time-dependent quantum calculations, choosing a two-state three-mode model of the S1-S2 conical intersection in pyrazine as a representative example. It is shown that a surface-hopping-induced femtosecond vibrational dephasing process is responsible for the irreversible relaxational behaviour in such systems.
