This licentiate thesis deals with quantum chemistry methods for large systems. In particular, the thesis focuses on the efficient construction of the Coulomb and exchange matrices which are important parts of the Fock matrix in Hartree--Fock calculations.The methods described are also applicable in Kohn--Sham Density FunctionalTheory calculations, ...
A theoretical framework for calculating electron transport through molecular junctions is presented. It is based on scattering theory using a Green's function formalism. The model can take both elastic and inelastic scattering into account and treats chemical and physical bonds on equal footing. It is shown that it is quite reliable with respect to...
This thesis presents quantum chemical calculations, applications of the response function formalism recently implemented within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) by our research group. The purpose of the calculations is to assess the performance of this perturbative approach to determining heavy atom effects on magnetic resonance par...
This thesis presents theoretical studies of several x-ray spectroscopies - x-ray absorption, x-ray photoelectron emission, radiative and non-radiative resonant Raman scattering spectroscopy. The main focus point is investigating the influence of nuclear dynamics on these spectra for a variety of small molecules - naphthalene, biphenyl, ethylene, th...
The present thesis is devoted to theoretical studies of pulse propagation of light through linear and nonlinear media, and of light-induced nuclear dynamics. The first part of the thesis addresses propagation of light pulses in linear periodical media - photonic crystals. The main accent was put on studies of the angular properties of two qualitati...
A very important trend for studying biomolecules is computational chemistry. In particular, nowadays it is possible to use theoretical methods to figure out the catalytic mechanism of enzyme reactions. Quantum chemistry has become a powerful tool to achieve a description of biological processes in enzymes active sites and to model reaction mechanis...
The current thesis deals with one important branch of the physics of ultrafast processes, namely modeling of femtosecond nuclear dynamics. We suggest a new type of time resolved spectroscopy, the phase sensitive infrared-x-ray pump probe spectroscopy, which combines rich opportunities of IR laser techniques in quantum control of molecular systems w...

The addition theorem for radiative multipole operators, i.e., electric-dipole, electric-quadropole or magnetic-dipole, etc., is derived through a translational transformation. The addition theorem of the μth component of the angular momentum operator, Lμ (r), is also derived as a simple expression that represents a general translation of the angula...
Ce travail présente l'étude théorique des propriétés magnétiques de composés à transition de spin du fer(II) en fonction de la nucléarité des complexes et de la nature des ligands environnants.
La corrélation entre la position des noyaux et les propriétés magnétiques des composés mononucléaires a été faite sur la base des calculs DFT du gap énergéti...
La phosphinine, analogue phosphoré de la pyridine, possède des propriétés pi-acceptrices marquées qui en font un ligand de choix pour la stabilisation de complexes riches en électrons. Cette caracteristique particulière est au cœur du présent travail doctoral. Il a semblé en effet intéressant d'étudier en détail le comportement de la phosphinine vi...
