A program for determining primitive semiclassical eigenvalues for vibrating/rotating nonlinear triatomic molecules

Abstract
This paper presents the theoretical details of the fast Fourier transform method for determining semiclassical eigenvalues in vibrating/rotating triatomic molecules. Much of this is concerned with transformations between space fixed Cartesian coordinates and momenta, normal coordinates and momenta and symmetric top rotational action/angle variables. Applications of the method to both rigid and vibrating H_2 O in both the ground and j = 3 rotational states are presented. Comparison with experi...

Nature of problem
This program calculates good actions and primitive semiclassical eigenvalues for vibrating/rotating nonlinear triatomic molecules moving in three dimensions. The program uses the Sorbie-Handy version of the fast Fourier transform method to calculate actions corresponding to the three vibrational normal modes and to a chosen body fixed projection of the rotational angular momentum. Iterative variation of the trajectory initial conditions is used to find the semiclassical root trajectory. Usefulne ...
