Body-fixed

The electronic Hamiltonian and the comesponding eigenfunctions and eigenvalues are independent of the orientation of the nuclear body-fixed frame with respect to the space-fixed one, and hence depend only on m. The index i in Eq. (9) can span both discrete and continuous values. The q ) form... [Pg.184]

From these relations it follows that is related to the angular momentum modulus, and that the pairs of angle a, P and y, 8 are the azimuthal, and the polar angle of the (J ) and the (L ) vector, respectively. The angle is associated with the relative orientation of the body-fixed and space-fixed coordinate frames. The probability to find the particular rotational state IMK) in the coherent state is... [Pg.244]

Any rotation of the coordinate system XYZ) to (xyz) may be performed by three successive rotations, denoted by the Euler angles (a, 3, y), about the coordinate axes as follows a) rotation about the Z axis through an angle a(0 < a < 2n), (b) rotation about the new yi axis through an angle P(0 < P < 7i), (c) rotation about the new zi axis through an angle y(0 Y < 2n). The relative orientations of the initial and final coordinate axes are shown in panel (d). Figure 1. The space-fixed (ATZ) and body-fixed (xyz) frames.

Figure 2. The space-fixed (XYZ) and body-fixed xyz) frames in a diatomic molecule AB. The nuclei are at A and B, and 1 represents the location of a typical electron. The results of inversions of their SF coordinates are A A, B B, and 1 1, respectively. After one executes only the reinversion of the electronic SF coordinates, one obtains 1 — 1. The net effect is then the exchange of the SF nuclear coordinates alone. Figure 2. The space-fixed (XYZ) and body-fixed xyz) frames in a diatomic molecule AB.

The original semiclassical version of the centrifugal sudden approximation (SCS) developed by Strekalov [198, 199] consistently takes into account adiabatic corrections to IOS. Since the orbital angular momentum transfer is supposed to be small, scattering occurs in the collision plane. The body-fixed correspondence principle method (BFCP) [200] was used to write the S-matrix for f — jf Massey parameter a>xc. At low quantum numbers, when 0)zc —> 0, it reduces to the usual non-adiabatic expression, which is valid for any Though more complicated, this method is the necessary extension of the previous one adapted to account for adiabatic corrections at higher excitation... [Pg.166]

We represent the four-atom problem in terms of diatom-diatom Jacobi coordinates R, the vector between the AB and CD centers of mass, and rj and r2, the AB and CD bond vectors. In a body-fixed coordinate system [19,20] with the z-axis chosen to R, only six coordinate variables need be considered, which we choose to be / , ri, and ra, the magnitudes of the Jacobi vectors, and the angles 01, 02, and (j). Here 0, denotes the usual polar angle of r, relative to the z-axis, and 4> is the difference between the azimuthal angles for ri and r2 (i.e., a torsion angle). [Pg.11]

The theory behind body-fixed representations and the associated angular momentum function expansions of the wavefunction (or wave packet) in terms of bases parameterized by the relevant constants of the motion and approximate constants of the motion is highly technical. Some pertinent results will simply be stated. The two good constants of the motion are total angular momentum, J, and parity, p = +1 or 1. An approximate constant of the motion is K, the body-fixed projection of total angular momentum on the body-fixed axis. For simplicity, we will restrict attention to the helicity-decoupled or centrifugal sudden (CS) approximation in which K can be assumed to be a constant of the motion. In terms of aU its components, and the iteration number k, the real wave packet is taken to be [21]... [Pg.11]

Applications of the theory described in Section III.A.2 to malonaldehyde with use of the high level ab initio quantum chemical methods are reported below [94,95]. The first necessary step is to define 21 internal coordinates of this nine-atom molecule. The nine atoms are numerated as shown in Fig. 12 and the Cartesian coordinates x, in the body-fixed frame of reference (BF) i where n= 1,2,... 9 numerates the atoms are introduced. This BF frame is defined by the two conditions. First, the origin is put at the center of mass of the molecule. [Pg.122]

The most well-known and dramatic manifestation of an INR is the appearance of a narrow feature in the integral cross-section (ICS), cr(E) at total energy E = Er of width T. Obviously the resonance peak is closely related to the existence of the resonance pole in the S-matrix. Using the normal body-fixed representation for an A + BC v,j) — AB(v, j ) + C reaction, the ICS is related to the S-matrix by... [Pg.52]

For an INR, a pole of the S-matrix can lead to a peak in the ICS if the resonance exists for just one partial wave, or if the resonances for each J are well-separated in energy. It is not surprising that similar conclusions can be drawn for the differential cross-sections (DCS). The DCS is defined from the usual body fixed S-matrix for A + BC — AB + C... [Pg.57]

The TD wavefunction satisfying the Schrodinger equation ih d/dt) F(f) = // (/,) can be expanded in a basis set whose elements are the product of the translational basis of R, vibrational wavefunctions for r, r2, and the body-fixed (BF) total angular momentum eigenfunctions as41... [Pg.414]

As discussed in Section II. A, the adiabatic electronic wave functions, a and / 1,ad depend on the nuclear coordinates R> only through the subset (which in the triatomic case consists of a nuclear coordinate hyperradius p and a set of two internal hyperangles this permits one to relate the 6D vector W(1)ad(Rx) to another one w(1 ad(q J that is 3D. For a triatomic system, let aIX = (a1 -. blk, crx) be the Euler angles that rotate the space-fixed Cartesian frame into the body-fixed principal axis of inertia frame IX, and let be the 6D gradient vector in this rotated frame. The relation between the space-fixed VRi and is given by... [Pg.302]

The DNA is modeled as a string of rods (or disks) connected by Hookean twisting and bending springs which oppose, respectively, torsional and flexural deformations.
