Abstract

The exact analytic expressions of the autocorrelation function and Husimi distribution function for a Morse oscillator wave packet have been derived and we use them to see the evolution of the wave packet. The dynamics of Morse oscillator wave packets for the dimers ArXe, Be2 and Li2 have been discussed. Special emphasis has been given on the revival phenomenon of such wave packets. It is obtained that the exact revivals of wave packets for ArXe, Be2 and Li2 do not occur at the revival times (trev) but at the instances 3.5, 8.5 and 33.5 times and their simple multiple of trev respectively.
