A theory of multiphoton magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) is developed for the two identical photon case. It is shown that, in the nonresonant intermediate state case, the transition probability of the two-photon MCD consists of A, B, and C terms as is well-known in the one-photon MCD. In the resonant case, another term which vanishes if both the initial and resonant electronic states are nondegenerate makes a contribution to the transition probability in addition to the A , B , and C terms. Expressions for those terms for the two-photon MCD of molecules are derived in the adiabatic approximation. Band shapes appearing in the two-photon MCD are discussed. Analytical expressions for the band shapes including the temperature effect have been derived in the displaced harmonic oscillator model. The expressions can be applied for both the weak and strong coupling cases. Model calculations of the band shapes are performed to demonstrate the effects of the potential displacement on the band shapes of the two-photon MCD.

1. Introduction When a magnetic field is applied along the propagation direction of circularly polarized light, circular dichroism in a medium can be observed: this is called magnetic circular dichroism (MCD). While natural CD is a relatively rare phenomenon, MCD is a property of all matter. One-photon MCD has been widely used by chemists and physicists to study electronic structures of molecules by measuring MCD in regions of electronic ab~orption.'-~ Multiphoton absorption spectroscopy is finding increasing application in the studies of excited electronic states of molecules, in particular of states which cannot directly be investigated by one-photon p r o c e ~ s e s . ~ , ~ The purpose of this paper is to develop a theory of two-photon MCD applicable to both degenerate and nondegenerate transitions, the temperature effect and resonance effect. In the present investigation we choose the case of two identical photons. Recently Wagni6re6has studied two-photon MCD. He has theoretically analyzed the polarization effects on two-photon MCD and derived the transition probability of two-photon MCD for nondegenerate initial and final states. Furthermore, the temperature effect is not included in his treatment. In the next section, a general theory of two-photon MCD both for the nonresonant and for the resonant intermediate states is developed. The transition probability for twophoton MCD is derived to first order in a magnetic field H. It is shown that, in the nonresonant case, the transition probability consists of A , B, and C terms as can be seen in the case of one-photon MCD. In the resonant case, on the other hand, another term, called the R term in this paper, makes a contribution to the transition probability in addition to the A, B, and C terms. The R term vanishes if both the initial and resonant electronic states are nondegenerate. (1)A. D.Buckingham and P. J. Stephens, Annu. Reu. Phys. Chem., 17,390 (1966). (2)P.J. Stephens, Adu. Chem.

In section 3, expressions for the transition probability for two-photon MCD of molecules are derived in the adiabatic approximation. The vibronic and nonadiabatic effects have been neglected. In section 4, band shapes for two-photon MCD are discussed. In the displaced harmonic oscillator model, analytical expressions for the band shapes including the temperature effects are derived by assuming a Lorentzian line shape. The expressions can be applied to both the weak and the strong electron-vibration coupling cases. To demonstrate the effects of the potential displacement on the band shapes of two-photon MCD, we perform model calculations of the band shapes using the expressions derived. 2. General Theory In this paper we consider only two-photon MCD due to the absorption of two identical photons. For this purpose, we shall use the semiclassical theory of radiation. In this case, the interction Hamiltonian between the system and the radiation field in the dipole approximation can be expressed as' e H'= -- [A, exp(itwR) exp(-itwR)].ii (2.1) 2mc

It should be noted that just as in the case of one-photon MCD, from eq 2.35 we can see that, if all three terms are present, the relative contributions from the A, B, and C terms are approximately in the ratio of ( h T ~ ) - l : ( ~ b a ) - ' : ( ~where ~ - ' , @ba denotes the order of magnitude of zero-field state separations between the initial and final states. In other words, unless AiT(uR) and C!&)(W,)vanish, their contributions are more important than that of B:T(uR). We shall consider two-photon MCD in the resonant intermediate state. In this case, qaN wR, the H dependence both in the energy denominator wka(H) - wR and in the damping constant yka(H) in eq 2.5 has to be properly taken into account. It has been showngthat, for a system of randomly oriented molecules, the magnetic field dependence of the damping constant is expressed as yka(H) = ria + H2rk2,' + .... The H dependence of y k a ( H ) can therefore be neglected in the present treatment in which we restrict ourselves to first order in H.

In this section, it is shown that in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation each term of the two-photon MCD of molecules can be expressed by a product of the electronic factor and the band shape function. 4. Discussion

We have shown that the expression for the transition probability of two-photon MCD consists of the A, B , C, and R terms depending on the nature of the electronic state manifolds relevant to the transition. In the nonresonant intermediate state case, compared with those of the A, B, and C terms, the contribution of the R term is considerably small except for the case in which the intermediate electronic state is degenerate and a t the same time both initial and final electronic states are nondegenerate. In this case, the A and C terms vanish and the B and R terms are in the same order, these being approximately in the ratio of (U&)-':(@k,)-'. In the near resonant or the resonant case, on the other hand, the R term may make a significant contribution to the two-photon MCD spectrum: the relative contributions from the A, B, C, and R terms are approximately in the ratio of (hYba)-l: kT)-':( hYka)-'. It is interesting to compare two-photon MCD with ordinary two-photon absorption. From eq 2.7, the transition probability of two-photon absorption for a randomly oriented system is given by

Comparing L L ~ ( w R ) of two-photon absorption with ALv(wR), eq 2.24, and Ci?(wR), eq 2.29, of two-photon MCD, we can see that they are closely related. Thus using two-photon MCD, one can determine not only the magnetic moments (if exist) of initial and/or final electronic states but also the dipole strength of two-photon absorption. Next we compare AW(WR)of two-photon MCD with W(wR) of two-photon absorption: from the A term the ratio is approximately l A G a b l H / h T a b , from the C term the ratio is approximately ljlaalH/kT,and from the B term the ratio is approximately IjlablH/UEa.In other words, from the experimental point of view, it is easier to measure the two-photon MCD of degenerate transitions than that of nondegenerate transitions.

In section 3, we have derived the transition probability for two-photon MCD in molecules in the adiabatic approximation. Its transition probability is expressed as a product of the electronic factor and the band shape function. The electronic factor involves the electric dipole and the magnetic moment matrix elements. I t has been shown that there are several types of the band shape functions. In the nonresonant and nonde enerate intermediate state, the band shape functions &(wR) and f 6b(wR) make a significant contribution. These band shape functions take the same structure as those in one-photon MCD of molecules.'l In order to analyze the vibronic structure of MCD spectra, one finds it useful to derive analytical expressions for the band shape functions which can be applied not only to the weak electron-vibration coupling but also to the strong coupling.

In Figures 1-4, the band shapes of the MCD in the nonresonant case are calculated to demonstrate the displacement parameter Aba dependence. The band-shape functions, r’,”d(wR) and f’ab(WR), in the low-temperature limit, ii = 0, are shown in Figures 1 and 2 , respectively. The parameters used are w = 800 cm-’, A b a = 1.0, Yba = 100 cm-l, and toa = 20000 cm-l. In Figures 3 and 4, the band shapes, and f;b(wR), are calculated with the same parameter set as those in Figures 1 and 2 except Aba = 3.0 and = 500 cm-’. From these figures, we can see that the band-shape function f/ab(WR) as well as f i ? ( w ~ ) can serve as a tool for analyzing the vibronic bands appearing in the MCD. In the resonant case, the band shape of MCD may be complicated compared with that in the nonresonant case because of the participation of the R term, and further because of the existence of two displacements, Abk and Aka. If only the initial electronic state is degenerate, the electronic factors of the A, C, and R terms neglecting the B term satisfy Ai? = RLV = -C‘2’ a b , and R&f = 0. In this case, three types of the band shape functions, F ( ~ ( w RF:b(wR), ), and RDab(wR),contribute to the resonant two-photon MCD. When the vibronic Hamiltonians, eq 4.5, are used, an analytical expression for F($(W,) can be written as12 1

Analytical expressions for the band-shape functions, and Raab(wR),can be obtained by differentiating eq 4.8 with respect to w ~ the : former originates from terms involving the differentiation of the Lorentzian line shape function, and the latter from those of the energy denominator with the resonant effect. One can calculate the band shapes of the resonant two-photon MCD by using the expressions derived above. A detailed discussion on the band shapes in the resonant case will be given in a subsequent paper. In this paper we have restricted ourselves to a displaced harmonic oscillator model. The treatment developed in this section can be extended to another potential surface model such as a distorted and displaced harmonic potential one. We have developed a theory of multiphoton MCD. Both the nonresonant two-photon MCD and the resonant MCD are treated in the two identical photon case. If the initial and/or intermediate electronic states are degenerate, the

It is shown that, in the adiabatic approximation and in the Condon approximation, each term of the two-photon MCD of molecules consists of a product of an electronic factor and a band-shape function. The effect of the breakdown of the Condon approximation and that of the adiabatic approximation will be reported elsewhere.
