요약Molecular dynamics at metal interfaces is a critical research area that underlies significant chemical processes involved in technology, energy and medical applications. The Born-Oppenheimer approximation, which is the fundamental theoretical approximation underlying almost all ab initio molecular dynamics approaches, often breaks down at interfaces, because charge transfer occurs and nuclei move along multiple potential energy surfaces. The presence of such complicated curve crossings requires that a meaningful theoretical description must involve not just one unique ground state, but also one or more relevant excited states. Obtaining such states becomes extremely hard near metal surfaces, as hard as picking a needle in a haystack, because there is a continuum of electronic states present at metal surfaces: how should we pick the relevant electronic states (assuming many states are irrelevant)? In this thesis, we develop several electronic structure methods for solving such a problem, using the Anderson impurity model as a test case. On the one hand, to test our methodologies, we quantitatively benchmark our results for ground state properties against numerical exact results from numerical renormalization group (NRG) theory. On the other hand, to learn about new physical processes, we qualitatively assess the predicted excited state properties, especially curve crossing trends. As far as methods are concerned, we first investigate a selective configuration interaction approach; here, ground state results match with NRG results across a wide range of parameters, but we find this approach is not easy to extrapolate to realistic systems. Second, we investigate a multireference Hartree-Fock wave function, with both open-shell and closed-shell characters; here, again, we find strong ground state results and show that effectively an active space can be isolated, but we find that the algorithm in some ways does not include enough electronic relaxation. Third, we design a new complete active space approach based on a novel constraint appropriate to interfaces. This last approach appears to be the very best of all choices so far and can generate both accurate ground state wave function as well as excited states, all with smooth transitions. Using the latter approach, future development of gradients and non-adiabatic couplings should allow for the study of non-adiabatic dynamics for molecules near metal surfaces.
