Summary
Following the experimental detection of coherent rotational states for the case of CS2 molecules, in this paper consideration is given to the theoretical evaluation of their formation and their time evolution. Use is made of the sudden approximation by choosing as Hamiltonian the semi-classical dipole electric-field effective interaction.
Riassunto
A seguito della rivelazione sperimentale dell'esistenza di stati rotazionali coerenti per le molecole del gas CS2, in questo articolo si considerano dal punto di visa teorico la loro formazione e la loro evoluzione temporale. Si usa la «sudden approximation» assumendo per hamiltoniana l'interazione semi-classica effettiva di dipolo elettrico.
