Quantum Mechanics of a Molecular System Adsorbed on a Dielectric Surface
Abstract
A molecular system adsorbed on a dielectric surface is modeled as a damped harmonic oscillator driven by a sinusoidal external force. The exact propagator and wavefunction through the Feynman path integral method are obtained. The second quantities are evaluated. The amplitude for transitions between harmonic oscillator states and damped driven oscillator states are obtained explicitly, and the result is applied to a two-level system. Keywords: Dielectric surface; Adsorbed molecular system; Quantum mechanics; Damped harmonic oscillator; Sinusoidal external force; Feynman path integral.
