| contents | A novel mixed quantum-classical approach to simulating nonadiabatic dynamics of molecules at metal surfaces is presented. The method combines the numerically exact hierarchical equations of motion approach for the quantum electronic degrees of freedom with Langevin dynamics for the classical degrees of freedom, namely, low-frequency vibrational modes within the molecule. The approach extends previous mixed quantum-classical methods based on Langevin equations to models containing strong electron-electron or quantum electronic-vibrational interactions, while maintaining a nonperturbative and non-Markovian treatment of the molecule-metal coupling. To demonstrate the approach, nonequilibrium transport observables are calculated for a molecular nanojunction containing strong interactions. |
