We calculate the adiabatic potential energy surfaces (PESs) and the non-adiabatic coupling terms (NACTs) for the excited electronic states of K 3 cluster by MRCI approach using MOLPRO. The NACTs are adapted with molecular symmetry to assign appropriate IREPs so that the elements of the Hamiltonian matrix are totally symmetric. We incorporate those NACTs into three-state adiabatic-to-diabatic transformation (ADT) equations to obtain ADT angles for constructing continuous, single-valued, smooth and symmetric diabatic Hamiltonian matrix, where its elements are fitted with analytic functions. Finally, we demonstrate that the dressed diabatic and adiabatic-via-dressed diabatic PECs show prominent topological effect over dressed adiabatic curves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
