Angular momentum for diatoms described by gauge fields
Abstract
When diatomic nuclear motion is described in an adiabatic approximation by a guage field, the conserved angular momentum possesses a nonkinematical contribution. The present work derives this expression and, by a change of basis, gives a simple form for the addition.
