Topological chern indices in molecular spectra
1L.P.M.M.C. (Maison des Magistres Jean Perrin, CNRS), BP 166, 38042 Grenoble Cedex 9, France.
Abstract:
Topological Chern indices are related to the number of rotational states in each molecular vibrational band. Modification of the indices is associated to the appearance of "band degeneracies," and exchange of rotational states between two consecutive bands. The topological dynamical origin of these indices is demonstrated through a semiclassical approach, and their values are computed in two examples. The relation with the integer quantum Hall effect is briefly discussed.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
