Movies of electron dynamics found here, just click on the images. All the plots are difference density plots, with the two colours marking positive/negative changes. Some of the movies have times in atomic units: 1 atomic unit = 0.0242 femtoseconds

Hexatriene

I give the Hexatriene molecule, initially in the groundstate, a massive potential kick on the left. You can see the excitation relax into the rest of the molecule.

The bottom molecule is given some energy through a dipole kick. The energy transfers to the top molecule, then transfers back.

Gold22-BenzeneDiThiol-Gold22

The system is an organic molecule connected to two chunks of gold. We start from ground state and apply a bias across the gold, and observe the resulting current flow.
