Abstract
Using the conventional QM it is hard and often even impossible to study the dynamics of a system when the two open channels for ionization and molecular dissociation are strongly coupled. The non-Hermitian QM enables us to simplify the problem by introducing a complex adia-batic potential energy surfaces. The complex adiabatic approach enables the separation of the slow and fast motions. The slow/fast motions can be associated with heavy/light particles or with a single particle having very different motion frequencies along the reaction coordinate and the other co-ordinates. Using the complex adiabatic approach the appearance of narrow peaks in the e −/H 2 scattering experiments and the sharp phase transition in electron transition through a quantum dot experiments are explained. Possible mechanisms are proposed.
