High-temperature simulation of the Raman spectra of the isotopologues $^{13}$C$^{16}$O$_2$ and $^{16}$O$^{13}$C$^{18}$O

Recently, experimental Raman spectra of the isotopologues $^{13}$C$^{16}$O$_2$ and $^{16}$O$^{13}$C$^{18}$O at high temperature have been reported. Separately, a reliable approach for obtaining vibrational wave functions for most isotopologues has been proposed. These descriptions, based on the $SU_1(2)\times U(3)\times SU_2(2)$ dynamical group, provide spectroscopic-quality fits to vibrational term values with root-mean-square deviations of $0.06$ and $0.07~\mathrm{cm}^{-1}$, respectively. Using the resulting wave functions, we simulate the Raman spectra of both species by evaluating transition moments of the mean polarizability, represented as an expansion in curvilinear coordinates up to cubic terms within the same algebraic framework. The difference of two independent experimental Raman spectra under comparable temperature conditions is analyzed with the help of the simulations provided by our model. The resulting simulations show excellent agreement with experiment, reinforcing the reliability of the model, while the estimated transition moments are also consistent with experimental values.

Time-dependent local-to-normal mode transition in triatomic molecules

Time-evolution of the vibrational states of two interacting harmonic oscillators in the local mode scheme is presented. A local-to-normal mode transition (LNT) is identified and studied from the time dependent point of view. The LNT is established as a polyad breaking phenomenon from the local point of view for the stretching degrees of freedom in a triatomic molecule. This study is carried out in the algebraic representation of bosonic operators. The dynamics of the states are determined via the solutions of the corresponding nonlinear Ermakov equation. Application of this formalism to H$_2$O, CO$_2$, O$_3$ and NO$_2$ molecules in the adiabatic, sudden and linear regime is considered.
