Chaos and rotational damping in particle-rotor model

摘要

The onset of chaos and the mechanism of rotational damping are studied in an exactly soluble particle-rotor model. It is shown that the degree of chaoticity as inferred from the statistical measures is closely related to the onset of rotational damping obtained using the model Hamiltonian. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
