Delta I = 2 staggering in rotational bands of diatomic molecules as a manifestation of interband interactions
arXiv:physics/0106001 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.60.253
Abstract
It is shown that the recently observed Delta I = 2 staggering seen in superdeformed nuclear bands is also occurring in certain electronically excited rotational bands of diatomic molecules. In the case of diatomic molecules the effect is attributed to interband interactions (bandcrossings).
