چکیده

We show through selected examples, relevant to the physics of fullerene ions, that the presence of a Berry phase in dynamical Jahn-Teller systems does not guarantee the degeneracy of the ground state, contrary to what previously believed. Moreover, we introduce a new class of JahnTeller systems with no Berry phase, as a generalization of the basic icosahedral H ⊗ h case.

Berry Phase and the Symmetry of the Vibronic Ground State in Dynamical Jahn-teller Systems

Due to the frequent presence of a Berry phase, in most cases of dynamical JahnTeller systems the symmetry of the ground state is the same as that of the electronic state. However, the H ⊗ h icosahedral case, relevant for the physics of fullerene ions, provides a first example of linear coupling leading, at strong coupling, to a change in symmetry of the ground state to a totally symmetric nonde...

v 2 9 J un 1 99 5 Low lying excitations of the Dynamical Jahn - Teller ions

We compute the vibronic spectrum of gas phase fullerene negative ions C60 and C 2− 60 . We treat accurately the linear dynamical Jahn-Teller of these ions in their ground state. In particular, coupling of the t1u orbital to the eight Hg vibrational modes is handled by exact diagonalizations including up to six vibrons. The resulting spectrum is characterized by large splittings, which should be...

Dynamical Jahn-Teller effect and Berry phase in positively charged fullerenes: Basic considerations.

We study the Jahn-Teller effect of positive fullerene ions C60 and 1C 60 . The aim is to discover if this case, in analogy with the negative ion, possesses a Berry phase or not, and what are the consequences on dynamical Jahn-Teller quantization. Working in the linear and spherical approximation, we find no Berry phase in 1C 60 , and presence/absence of Berry phase for coupling of one L = 2 hol...

Electron – Vibron Interactions and Berry Phases in Charged Buckminsterfullerene : Part I

A simple model for electron-vibron interactions on charged buck-minsterfullerene C 60 n− , n = 1,. .. 5, is solved both at weak and strong couplings. We consider a single H g vibrational multiplet interacting with t 1u electrons. At strong coupling the semiclassical dynamical Jahn-Teller theory is valid. The Jahn-Teller distortions are unimodal for n=1,2,4,5 electrons, and bimodal for 3 electro...

A Computational Study to Find the Vibrational Modes Connected with Specific Molecular Structures of Calculated Compound

The purpose of this research is to provide a deeper understanding of the planar high- symmetry configuration instability. In the ideal case, the distortion corresponds to the movements of nuclei along normal modes that belong to non-totally symmetric irreps of the high symmertry (HS) point group of molecule. The analysis of the structural distortion from the HS nuclear arrangements of the JT ac...
