Rotational Structure of Extremely Floppy van der Waals Complexes: Adiabatic Separation of Angular and Radial Motion
The adiabatic or Born-Oppenheimer approximation is often used in molecular calculations to simplify the solution to the Schrodinger equation. The basis of the approximation is the large difference in the relative motions of the nuclei and electrons in the molecule-the electrons are able to respond a...
