Abstract

We find and analyze the exact time-dependent potential energy surface driving the proton motion for a model of cavity-induced suppression of proton-coupled electron-transfer. We show how, in contrast to the polaritonic surfaces, its features directly correlate to the proton dynamics and discuss cavity-modifications of its structure responsible for the suppression. The results highlight the interplay between non-adiabatic effects from coupling to photons and coupling to electrons, and suggest caution is needed when applying traditional dynamics methods based on polaritonic surfaces.
