Abstract
The same perturbation method is found to be valid for a gentle mutual potential between free atom and vibrator as for an infinitely steep mutual potential, provided that the reduced mass of the system is sufficiently small.A simplified method is discussed for the calculation of transition probabilities. This method is used to calculate the effect of a van der Waals' attractive field.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
