Abstract
We theoretically analyzed positron affinities (PAs) of acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) and its deuterated (CD3CDO) molecules at vibrational excited states with multi-component molecular orbital and vibrational quantum Monte Carlo methods. In the fundamental tone states, the PA value at the C=O stretching vibrational mode of acetaldehyde becomes increased by 9.8 meV (+ 12%) from the vibrational ground state of 84.5 meV, while that at the C-H (aldehyde group) stretching vibrational mode decreased by 2.8 meV (\(-\)3%). We also confirmed that each vibrational state has a different H/D isotope shift in PA values. Such non-uniformity in quantum vibrational influence on PA values and its H/D isotope shifts dominantly arise from the change in dipole moment by vibrational excitations.
