Rotation-vibrational states of H3+ and the adiabatic approximation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss recent progress in the calculation and identification of rotation-vibrational states of H3+ at intermediate energies up to 13,000 cm(-1). Our calculations are based on the potential energy surface of Cencek et al. which is of sub-microhartree accuracy. As this surface includes diagonal adiabatic and relativistic corrections to the fixed nuclei electronic energies, the remaining discrepancies between our calculated and experimental data should be due to the neglect of non-adiabatic coupling to excited electronic states in the calculations. To account for this, our calculated energy values were adjusted empirically by a simple correction formula. Based on our understanding of the adiabatic approximation, we suggest two new approaches to account for the off-diagonal adiabatic correction, which should work; however, they have not been tested yet for H3+. Theoretical predictions made for the above-barrier energy region of recent experimental interest are accurate to 0.35 cm(-1) or better.

Analytical Mechanics of Chemical Reactions . IV . Classical Mechanics of Reactions in Two Dimensions
The natural collision coordinates of Part III are used to treat the analytical mechanics of chemical reactions, AB+C->A+BC. Other than in Part II, the classical analytical mechanics of chemical reactions on a smooth potential surface have not been explored previously in the literature. A Hamilton-Jacobi formalism is used, apparently for the first time in calculating a reaction rate. The "vibrat...

Analytical derivatives and non-adiabatic coupling matrix elements are derived for Hn (+) systems (n = 3-5). The method uses a generalized Hellmann-Feynman theorem applied to a multi-state description based on diatomics-in-molecules (for H3 (+)) or triatomics-in-molecules (for H4 (+) and H5 (+)) formalisms, corrected with a permutationally invariant many-body term to get high accuracy. The analy...
متن کاملWater dimer vibration–rotation tunnelling levels from vibrationally averaged monomer wavefunctions
The vibration–rotation tunnelling (VRT) spectra for the water dimer obtained by vibrationally averaging the dimer potential over accurate water monomer wavefunctions is reported. The vibrational averaging requires evaluation of the 12D dimer potential energy surface at more than 10 distinct geometries. The resulting vibrational spectra of the low-lying dimer states are presented and compared wi...
متن کاملAdiabatic formulation of heteronuclear hydrogen molecular ion
We revisit the HD molecular ion by starting from a definition of the nonrelativistic adiabatic Hamiltonian that recovers the isotopic splitting. The Hamiltonian is written in prolate spheroidal coordinates with the origin at the nuclear center of mass. This prescription for the adiabatic Hamiltonian implicitly contains the symmetrybreaking effects arising from the mass difference between the pr...

Abstract We have developed a theoretical method for interpretation of photoionization experiments with the H3 molecule. In the present study we give a detailed description of the method, which combines multichannel quantum defect theory, the adiabatic hyperspherical approach, and the techniques of outgoing Siegert pseudostates. The present method accounts for vibrational and rotation excitation...
