SUq(1,1) description of vibrational molecular spectra

Abstract

The SU q (1,1) quantum algebra is used for the description of vibrational spectra of diatomic molecules for which SU(1,1) is used in the classical approach. While in the classical case only the first two terms of the empirical Dunham expansion occur, in the quantum case all terms are obtained. The improved description of the empirical data is obtained with q being a phase (and not a real number), in agreement with the situation occurring in the q-rotor (having the symmetry SU q (2)) used for the description of rotational spectra of molecules and nuclei.

Hq (4) and SUq (2) quantum group symmetries in diatomic molecules

Zhe Chang, Hong Yan

We develop a model with ${\mathit{H}}_{\mathit{q}}$(4) and ${\mathrm{SU}}_{\mathit{q}}$(2) quantum group symmetries to describe the vibrational and rotational spectra of diatomic molecules. The representations of ${\mathit{H}}_{\mathit{q}}$(4) and ${\mathrm{SU}}_{\mathit{q}}$(2) and solutions to the quantum systems of q oscillators and q rotators are provided. We emphasize that the energy spectra of the q oscillator and q rotator exhibit remarkably the properties of the infrared, vibrational, and rotational Raman spectra as well as vibrational and rotational structures of electronic transitions of the diatomic molecule. When the parameters are properly selected, the spectra of this model coincide with the observed spectra of diatomic molecules. It is suggested that ${\mathit{H}}_{\mathit{q}}$(4) \ensuremath{\bigotimes}${\mathrm{SU}}_{\mathit{q}}$(2) is an essential symmetry of vibrations and rotations in diatomic molecules.

U q (4)⊇O q(4) description of diatomic molecules: Vibrational spectra

Raj K. Gupta, Ian L. Cooper

Quantum-deformed algebra (q-DA) of the O(4) dynamical symmetry of the U(4) group is studied in respect of the vibrational spectra of diatomic molecules. It is shown that, as in the case of the U(6) group for nuclei, the q-deformation parameter in Uq(4)⊇Oq(4) must also be complex for any meaningful gain in going from the classical to the q-deformed algebra. Application is made to the ground electronic state (X 1Σ+g) of the H2 molecule.

Generalized deformed oscillators for vibrational spectra of diatomic molecules

Dennis Bonatsos A, C. Daskaloyannis

Using deformed bosons, we construct generalized anharmonic oscillators suitable for the description of vibrational spectra of diatomic molecules. One of them gives the same spectrum as the modified P\"oschl-Teller potential, i.e., the first two terms of the Dunham expansion, while the other is a q deformation of the first, corresponding to summing all terms of the Dunham expansion for vibrational molecular spectra.

q-ROTATING OSCILLATOR MODEL (I)——q-Oscillator and Vibrational Spectra of Diatomic Molecules

YAN HONG, Zhe Chang, Han-Ying Guo +1 more

We suggest a model of q-deformed rotating oscillator which possesses the symmetry of quantum group and point out that this model can be used to describe the vibrational and rotational structures of many microscopic systems. We construct the representation of q-oscilla or algebra and give energy values of q-oscillaor in this representation. It is shown that the q-oscillator spectra can be used to describe infrared spectra, Raman spectra and vibrational structure of electronic transitions of diatomic molecules.

Two Parameter Quantum Deformation of U(2) ⊃ U(1) Dynamical Symmetry and the Vibrational Spectra of Diatomic Molecules

Ramandeep S. Johal, Raj K. Gupta

The vibrational spectra in H2-molecule is studied by taking the two parameter quantum deformed Uqp(u2) ⊃ Uqp(u1) algebra as the model for the system. The results are improved, compared with the classical as well as the one parameter q-description. The fitting parameter remains the same (at most two) in both cases of q– and qp–deformations.

Diatomic-molecular spectrum in view of quantum group theory

Zhe Chang, Hong Yan

We suggest the quantum Heisenberg group ${\mathit{H}}_{\mathit{q}(\mathit{J})}$(4) as the dynamical symmetry group of a diatomic-molecule system. The deformation parameter q of the ${\mathit{H}}_{\mathit{q}(\mathit{J})}$(4) symmetry group is a function of J (the quantum number of the angular momentum of the rigid rotation) and characterizes the interaction between vibration and rotation. The vibrational and rotational structures of diatomic molecules are compactly expressed using the quantum-group-theoretic approach. Taylor expansions of the analytic formulas from this approach reproduce the results of the anharmonic-oscillator and the nonrigid-rotator models. For some randomly selected molecules in particular states, the parameters are computed to fit the phenomenological formulas to high accuracy.
