Vibrational excitations of methane in a symmetry-adapted algebraic model
نویسنده
چکیده
The stretching and bending vibrations of methane are studied in the framework of a symmetryadapted algebraic model. The model is based on the realization of the one-dimensional Morse potential in terms of a U(2) algebra. For the 45 observed energies we obtain a fit with a r.m.s. deviation of 1.11 cm which is an order of magnitude better than in any previous algebraic calculation. PACS numbers: 33.20.Tp, 33.15.Mt, 03.65.Fd

We discuss a symmetry-adapted algebraic (or vibron) model for molecular spectroscopy. The model is formulated in terms of tensor operators under the molecular point group. In this way, we have identified interactions that are absent in previous versions of the vibron model, in which the Hamiltonian is expressed in terms of Casimir operators and their products. The inclusion of these new interac...
متن کاملA Symmetry Adapted Approach to Vibrational Excitations in Atomic Clusters
An algebraic method especially suited to describe strongly anharmonic vibrational spectra in molecules may be an appropriate framework to study vibrational spectra of Na+n clusters, where nearly flat potential energy surfaces and the appearance of close lying isomers have been reported. As an illustration we describe the model and apply it to the Be4, H + 3 , Be3 and Na + 3 clusters.
متن کاملSymmetry-Adapted Algebraic Description of Stretching and Bending Vibrations of Ozone
The vibrational excitations of ozone, including both bending and stretching vibrations, are studied in the framework of a symmetry-adapted algebraic approach. This method is based on the isomorphism between the U(2) algebra and the one-dimensional Morse oscillator, and the introduction of point group symmetry techniques. The use of symmetry-adapted interactions, which in the harmonic limit have...

We apply the Anharmonic Oscillator Symmetry Model to the description of vibrational excitations in D 3h and T d molecules. A systematic procedure can be used to establish the relation between the algebraic and configuration space formulations, by means of which new interactions are found in the algebraic model, leading to reliable spectroscopic predictions. We illustrate the method for the case...
متن کاملApplication of a symmetry adapted algebraic model to the vibrational spectrum of methane
Recently, a symmetry-adapted version of the vibron model has been developed [14]. The aim of this work is to present the description of all stretching and bending vibrations of the methane molecule in the framework of such a model. In the present algebraic approach a U(2) algebra is associated with each relevant interatomic interaction. For the CH4 molecule we have four U(2) algebras correspond...
