description

International audience; Abstract: A symmetrized basis adapted to the study of some vibrational excited states of spherical top molecules is proposed. This basis, consistent with the Cartesian picture associated with a three-dimensional mode, is then tested numerically through various XY6 and XY4 molecules. In addition, some simulations, made with 238UF6 and a simplified version of an effective Hamiltonian, clearly show that the method can be further extended through the construction of a symmetrized local rovibrational basis.
