Anharmonic energy profile

H is the molecular hamiltonian in the absence of the field. This anharmonic energy profile is plotted in Figure 2 for three choices of 2 A/t. A taylor series expansion of this equation around the equilibrium polarization, Vo, gives the effective cubic anharmonicity in the potential, where V replaces the classical position x...

Starting from the above observations, it is iiEportant to consider the energy profile for the inversion of the half-chair structure for the two compounds (figure 19). The anharmonic vibrational levels supported by both potentials are shown too.

An extreme case of an anharmonic oscillator energy profile is shown in schematic form (cf. Ref. 25). This representation assumes changes in V affect only the energy of electrons in the initial state at the Fermi level.

The (2,0,0) levels are more complex. In the harmonic approximation, for each of the three degenerate states, one Cartesian direction would show two nodes and the other two directions would have Gaussian profiles. However, because of the anharmonicity, these levels become mixed. The resulting wave functions are shown in Figures 4 (the C level) and 5 (the A level). As can be seen, the C wave function is on average closer to the centre of the site and hence has a lower energy.
