Distribution of xp in some molecular rotational states

Abstract

Developing the analysis of the distribution of the so-called posmom xp to the spherical harmonics that represents some molecular rotational states for such as diatomic molecules and spherical cage molecules, we obtain posmometry (introduced recently by Y. A. Bernard and P. M. W. Gill, Posmom: The Unobserved Observable, J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 1(2010)1254) of the spherical harmonics and demonstrate that it bears a striking resemblance to the momentum distributions of the stationary states for a one-dimensional simple harmonic oscillator.
