Abstract

Two nonrelativistic Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surfaces of distinct space-spin symmetry intersect on a surface of dimension N-1 where N is the number of internal nuclear degrees of freedom. Characterization of this entire surface can be quite costly. An algorithm, employing multiconfiguration self-consistent-field (MCSCF)/configuration interaction (CI) wave functions and analytic gradient techniques, is presented which avoids the determination of the full N-I dimensional surface, while directly locating portions of the crossing surface that are energetically important
