PERIODIC POTENTIAL FUNCTIONS FOR PSEUDOROTATION AND INTERNAL-ROTATION Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A computer program which uses matrix diagonalization techniques has been developed for determining the energy levels and wave-functions for periodic potential functions of the form V = 1 2Vn(1-cosn), where terms with n ranging from 1 to 6 can be used. The mass related internal rotation constant B is also allowed to vary as a function of the phase . The energy level patterns of eight different types of potential functions, which are typical for internal rotation and pseudorotation, have been determined. Several applications of such calculations for the interpretation of vibrational data are discussed. 1972.
