Conical intersections local topography

The topography of a conical intersection affects the propensity for a nonadiabatic transition. Here, we focus on the essential linear tenns. Higher order effects are described in [10]. The local topography can be detennined from Eq. (13). For T] = 3, Eq. (13) becomes, in orthgonal intersection adapted coordinates...
