Conical Intersections in Physics
Larson, Jonas / Öhberg, Patrik / Sjöqvist, Erik
This concise book introduces and discusses the basic theory of conical intersections with applications in atomic, molecular and condensed matter physics.Conical intersections are linked to the energy of quantum systems. They can occur in any physical system characterized by both slow and fast degrees of freedom - such as e.g. the fast electrons and slow nuclei of a vibrating and rotating molecule - and are important when studying the evolution...
