Densities of vibrational states of given symmetry species. Linear molecules and rovibrational states of nonlinear molecules

摘要

A simple statistical expression is given for the density of states of any symmetry species for linear molecules. Molecules with one and two pairs of doubly degenerate bending modes are considered. The results of our previous paper for vibrational states of nonlinear molecules are also extended to include density of rotationalhyphen;vibrational states by symmetry species. The various expressions are tested by comparing with exact counts of states.
