Rotational energy surfaces and high‐J eigenvalue structure of polyatomic molecules

摘要: A rotational analog of the vibrational potential energy surface is introduced for describing fine structure polyatomic molecules. Classical trajectories on (RE) surfaces are related to quantum eigenvalue structure. Interpretation RE shows how very different types molecules may undergo dynamical symmetry breaking and a corresponding clustering sublevels high angular momentum (J>10). Cluster splitting spacing calculated using semiclassical quantization methods. Some consequences such as mixing nuclear spin species discussed qualitatively.
