SEARCH Articles Figures Tables A schematic representation of the potential surface for the electron between two centers . Shown also are the relevant diabatic electronic wavefunctions, localized on each center. The lower diagram corresponds to a stable nuclear configuration and the upper one— to a nuclear fluctuation that brings the system into the transition state where the diabatic electronic energies are equal. The electronic transition probability depends on the overlap between the electronic wavefunctions i zp and tn this transition state.
