 I have just implemented the "fewest switches" algorithm of John Tully
 for
 carrying out non-adiabatic molecular dynamics in an LCAO code (which can
 use either tight binding or density functional theory). I plan to use this
 code to study non-radiative transitions in silicon.
 My first problem is to find some simple systems for which answers are
 already known in order to debug the code. Ideally I would like to use a
 hydrocarbon or silicon based system since I have reliable tight binding
 models for these. Does anyone know of calculated or experimental
 non-radiative transition rates for such systems?
 Best regards,
 Andrew
