An Approach to the Analysis of Vibrational-Rotational Interactions in Molecules.

Abstract

The vibration-rotation interaction of diatomic molecules with high angular moments have been completely re-examined using a nonperturbative scheme which avoids the usual anharmonic oscillator interpretation. A second section is devoted to the evaluation of the mass-dependent contribution to the potential energy in the Watson version of the vibration-rotation Hamiltonian in terms of the generalized Lucas polynomials. The third section of the report discusses an attempt to employ Chebyschev operator expansions to the Van Vleck transformation. (Author)
