Applying the Redfield theory the electron back-transfer reaction in betaine-30 in liquid environment can be simulated quantitatively. The new model effectively substitutes the vibronically coupled molecular normal modes as well as the solvent modes by a treatably small set of reaction coordinates. An electron transfer model including two excited states of betaine-30 is considered. The rest of the system is treated as a thermal reservoir. The experimentally detected signal [1] is simulated using the time evolution of the reduced density matrix.
The correct long-time dynamics and especially approaching of the thermal equilibrium are achieved by an exact treatment of the intercenter coupling in the system-bath interaction [2]. This is done in the basis of eigenstates of the vibronic Hamiltonian. The equation of motion for the reduced density matrix is solved numerically by means of a stochastic wave function algorithm designed for unraveling equations which do not have Lindblad structure.
