Construction of the linear vibronic coupling (LVC) potential. (a) Harmonic ground-state potential Inline graphic (blue curve). (b) Adding vertical excitation energies Inline graphic shifts harmonic excited-state potentials vertically (red, orange curves). (c) Adding intrastate coupling constants κi shifts harmonic excited-state curves diagonally (from dashed to solid curves). (d) Adding interstate coupling constants λij couples the excited-state potentials (from dashed orange/red curves to solid green curves).
