Adiabatic hyperspherical treatment of the H/sub 2/ /sup +/ molecule

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
The simplest molecule is treated theoretically using hyperspherical coordinates. It is argued, and demonstrated semiquantitatively, that the adiabatic body-frame approximation in hyperspherical coordinates is nearly identical to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
