Abstract

We investigate a spin-boson inspired model of electron transfer, where the diabatic coupling is given by a position-dependent phase, eiWx. We consider both equilibrium and nonequilibrium initial conditions. We show that, for this model, all equilibrium results are completely invariant to the signof W (to infinite order). However, the nonequilibrium results do depend on the signof W, suggesting that photo-induced electron transfer dynamics with spin-orbit coupling can exhibit electronic spin polarization (at least for some time).
