A pedagogical description of diabatic and adiabatic molecular processes (1706.07469v1)
Published 22 Jun 2017 in quant-ph
Abstract: We provide a pedagogical approach to the problem of avoided crossings between electronic molecular curves and to diabatic and adiabatic transitions when the nuclei of a diatomic molecule move according to classical mechanics. For simplicity we restrict the analysis to only two electronic states.
