Abstract

This paper describes the results of a computational study of tunnelling of molecules possessing a single large amplitude vibrational mode subject to symmetric and asymmetric non-periodic potential energy functions. The paper compares a time domain description of tunnelling and its consequences for measurable physical properties, with the frequency domain description given in terms of transitions between stationary states largely localised in distinct potential wells. In particular, the behaviour of Boltzmann wavepackets possessing ensemble average characteristics on such potential functions is discussed. As an illustration, it is shown that these wavepackets embody a classical description of the oscillating dipole moment components in molecules like cyanamide, ammonia and chlorocyclobutane, which can be reconciled with the quantum mechanical measurement of the relevant transition moments in such cases. Resonance enhancement of tunnelling between inequivalent energy domains of asymmetric potential functions is also described.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
