This book provides a detailed description of the modern variational
methods available for solving the nuclear motion Schrödinger equation
to enable accurate theoretical spectroscopy of polyatomic molecules.
These methods are currently used to provide important molecular data
for spectroscopic studies of atmospheres of astronomical objects
including solar and extrasolar planets as well as cool stars. This
book has collected descriptions of quantum mechanical methods into one
cohesive text, making the information more accessible to the
scientific community, especially for young researchers, who would like
to devote their scientific career to the field of computational
molecular physics. The book addresses key aspects of the high-accuracy
computational spectroscopy of the medium size polyatomic molecules. It
aims to describe numerical algorithms for the construction and
solution of the nuclear motion Schrödinger equations with the central
idea of the modern computational spectroscopy of polyatomic molecules
to include the construction of the complex kinetic energy operators
(KEO) into the computation process of the numerical pipeline by
evaluating the corresponding coefficients of KEO derivatives
on-the-fly. The book details key aspects of variational solutions of
the nuclear motion Schrödinger equations targeting high accuracy,
including construction of rotational and vibrational basis functions,
coordinate choice, molecular symmetry as well as of intensity
calculations and refinement of potential energy functions. The goal of
this book is to show how to build an accurate spectroscopic
computational protocol in a pure numerical manner of a general
black-box type algorithm. This book will be a valuable resource for
researchers, both experts and not experts, working in the area of the
computational and experimental spectroscopy; PhD students and
early-career spectroscopists who would like to learn basics of the
modern variational methods in the field of computational spectroscopy.
It will also appeal to astrophysicists and atmospheric physicists who
would like to assess data and perform calculations themselves. Key
features: Supported by the latest research and based on the
state-of-the-art computational methods in high-accuracy computational
spectroscopy of molecules. Authored by an authority in the field.
Accessible to both experts and non-experts working in the area of
computational and experimental spectroscopy, in addition to graduate
students.
