The formulation of a general strategy for implementing semiclassical quantization using the adiabatic-switching method, presented in the preceding paper for two-dimensional systems, is generalized to multidimensional systems. The method is shown to produce accurate semiclassical eigenvalues for the realistic polynomial potential describing SO/sub 2/ as well as for model potentials for other multidimensional systems. The results are compared with semiclassical results obtained with use of other methods.
