This direct filter teclnrique is very powerfiil [, 59] in extracting highly excited states, since only the propagation of a wavepacket is required. However, it is inefficient when there are closely-lying eigenvalues T... 

Of course, for highly excited states, the deusity is expected to cover wide portious of the molecular conflguratiou space. 

All matrix elements connected with triply and more highly excited states are also vanishing. 

The ionized atom that remains after the removal of the core hole electron is in a highly excited state and will rapidly relax back to a lower energy state by one of two routes, namely X-ray fluorescence (Section 5.1.2) or by transferring the energy to an electron in another orbit, which, if it has sufficient energy, will be ejected into the vacuum as Auger emission. An example of the latter process is illustrated in Figure 5.29.

It is not possible to discuss highly excited states of molecules without reference to the recent progress in nonlinear dynamics.2 Indeed, the stimulation is mutual. Rovibrational spectra of polyatomic molecules provides both an ideal testing ground for the recent ideas on the manifestation of chaos in Hamiltonian systems and in turn provides many challenges for the theory. 

According to Fig. 5 the maximum and minimum in the NACME to the first excited state produce a minimum and maximum in the corresponding contribution to the electronic contribution to the vibrational g factor. The extrema are at the same internuclear distances and have positions near the extrema in the total electronic contribution to g R), but are not as steep. The contributions from the second, third, and up to the fifth excited states modify slightly the position and the form of the extrema but introduce no fundamental modification. We, therefore, conclude that the extrema in the vibrational g factor reflect extrema in the first-order NACME to the first excited state, and not in the energy of the excited state. The exact position of the minimum in the vibrational g factor is, however, influenced by more highly excited states. 

When the combustion cycle takes place, the components, hydrogen and oxygen, recombine to once again form water molecules. Thus only water and extra air exit the exhaust pipe. Next, being that this water is in a highly excited state, very hot steam, it exits as something similar to very moist air. Ever driven your car in the rain Doesn t kill or rust it does it And there you have a car that runs on water. Just needs the right modifications performed. 

These highly rotationally excited molecules have many interesting properties, which opens up a number of possible avenues for study. In addition to the well-defined rotational energy, the extreme rotational excitation distorts the molecular frame, which can have an impact on dynamics and spectroscopy, and the large rotational spacing for these highly excited states makes them resistant to collisional relaxation or reorientation.

The highly excited states of molecules produced by high-energy radiation that arc chemically important are mainly the ionic states because of the rapidity of internal conversion processes. Primary excitation is relatively unimportant while secondary excitation is quite common. In the condensed phases energy dissipation is very rapid because of colli-sional deactivation, the cage effect, and excitation energy transfer processes all of which act to negate the chemical effects of secondary excitation,... 

An external electric field leads to three alterations in the electron structure of an atom. Firstly, the energy levels of the atom are shifted and split (the Stark effect). The theory of this effect is well-known [8], Secondly, the highly excited states of the atom disappear. The potential for the outer electron of the highly excited atom, is equal to...
