Abstract
We have developed a semiclassical method, based on the models proposed by Miller and co‐workers, for calculating tunneling effects in asymmetric double‐well systems. The procedure can be easily implemented within standard classical trajectory simulations and thus allows for explicit treatment of the full‐dimensional dynamics. We have applied the method to HSiOH cis–trans isomerization.Keywords
