Nonadiabatic effects in two-level systems: A classical analysis
Résumé
Our aim in this paper is to study classical dynamics in two-level molecular systems. We first derive, through the Wigner phase-space transform, a classical limit that reduces unfortunately to the adiabatic approximation. This lead us to develop a one-center quantal approximation whose variables can be interpreted in a fully classical Hamiltonian scheme. As a prominent feature, this Hamiltonian couples polarization and spatial motion. We apply it successfully to the Rosenthal-Stückelberg oscillations. We analyze one-dimensional diffusion similar to a molecular reaction, it appears to exhibit chaotic behavior.
