1303.6111 (Ian G. Moss)

Geometrical terms in the effective Hamiltonian for rotor molecules    [PDF]

Ian G. Moss
An analogy between asymmetric rotor molecules and anisotropic cosmology can be used to calculate new centrifugal distortion terms in the effective potential of asymmetric rotor molecules which have no internal 3-fold symmetry. The torsional potential picks up extra $\cos\alpha$ and $\cos2\alpha$ contributions, which are comparable to corrections to the momentum terms in methanol and other rotor molecules with isotope replacements.
