Abstract

A model system consisting of three electronic states and one vibrational degree of freedom is investigated. The upper two electronic states are vibronically coupled. Using the method of canonical transformations and avoiding the adiabatic separation between nuclear and electronic motion, approximate eigenfunctions are constructed and analytic expressions for the eigenvalues are derived. The energies and the transition matrix elements between the ground state and excited states are compared with exact numerical solutions of the problem.
