Abstract

The dynamics of a diatomic molecule possessing translational, rotational, and vibrational degrees of freedom in a trap has been analyzed theoretically and numerically. The interaction of atoms in the molecule is described by the Lennard-Jones potential, while the interaction of atoms with the trap walls is described by an exponential potential of repulsion. The motion of a molecule away from the trap walls can be reduced to the classical two-body problem with the central interaction and is regular. It has been established that an intense interaction of atoms of the molecule with the trap walls leads to stochastization of motion.
